1 min readDiscover drink pairings that highlight the character of the dish.
When it comes to beverage pairing, wine does not need to come to mind alone. A well-brewed tea, a homemade sherbet or a soda with a balanced fizziness can also say a lot with the meal.
When we choose, we first look at the density of the plate. We look for refreshment next to an oily and strong flavor, and next to a delicate plate, we turn to calmer options that will not overpower the aroma.
The character of the plate | Recommendation | Why? |
|---|---|---|
Spicy and intense | Citrus-based soda | Cleans the mouth |
Light and green | Cold green tea | Supports grasses |
Creamy and rich | Drink with high acidity | Provides balance |
The same logic applies when choosing a non-alcoholic pairing: sweetness should be in moderation, acidity should be crisp, and the finish should be clean. The best pairing is one that takes it one step further without getting in the way of the dish.
