Whether serving classic or gourmet slices, unlike more decadent main courses, pizza provides a traditional, easy-to-prep serving option suitable for every taste preference. Pairing cocktails with pizza isn’t about just taste but also balance, carefully help curate a menu which offers a variety of spirit-forward choices with these versatile eats.
Aperitivos are meant to be served as pre-dinner drinks for their mild, acidic and bitter flavours balanced by organic, fruit-based garnishes to even the flavours of cheesy, rich pies.
To balance a pizza’s umami-heavy ingredients, bitter and herbaceous liqueurs work well in cutting through them when added to stirred cocktails.
Pizzas featuring more meat toppings or a richer sauce pair makes for a great pairing with citrus-forward cocktails which provide an airy texture when shaken, with creative rim garnishes to add more flavour.
The wide range of cocktails guarantees that every pizza lover will find a drink to suit their slice – from low-ABV spritzes to spirit-forward classics and highball options.
A great way to cap off a meal with easy-to-prep post-dinner drinks, dessert pizzas or puddings are the perfect match to cocktails with similar textures and profiles. *Drink Responsibly. This communication is for audiences above the age of 25.
