For your next pizza night with friends, let's not just throw a bunch of pizzas on the table and call it a day. 2024 is all about subtle makeovers and this time, we’re working with pizzas and cocktails.
Enter the Gin & Tonic. Mix 45 ml of Tanqueray gin topped with tonic water over ice. The gin's botanicals dance perfectly with the basil, while the tonic's quinine complements the tomato's acidity. It's like they were made for each other.
For the pepperoni aficionados, a cocktail with a bit of bite is in order. A Whisky Sour is the way to go, but let's give it a twist with Johnnie Walker Black Label, using 45 ml of whisky.
Ah, BBQ chicken pizza – it's sweet, it's smoky, and it's unapologetically bold. It needs a drink that can stand up to its big flavours. Enter the Rum Old Fashioned. We're twisting the script and using 45 ml of Captain Morgan Dark Rum instead of bourbon.
For the veggie lovers, a pizza loaded with all the greens, reds, and yellows of the vegetable kingdom deserves a drink that's as fresh and light as the toppings. A Cucumber Vodka Spritz, featuring 45 ml of Smirnoff Vodka infused with cucumber and topped with soda water, is the answer
Lastly, for the Hawaiian pizza crowd – yes, pineapple on pizza is a hill some of us are willing to die on—a Coconut Rum Punch is the tropical getaway your pizza night needs. Mix 30 ml of Captain Morgan Coconut Rum with pineapple juice and a splash of grenadine for that sunset colour.
