How to Pair Wine Cocktails
When it comes to French food, there are few things more iconic than a glass of red wine. But
what if you want to switch things up? What if you’re looking for a refreshing wine cocktail
to pair with your favorite French dishes for your date night or a special occasion?
Never fear, we’ve got you covered. In this blog post, we will share quick tips on how to pair
French food with wine cocktails.
Here are some ideas based on whether it’s a luncheon, dinner, or brunch event.
Brunch events
When it comes to pairing Kir Royale with French food, the options are endless! This classic
drink, made with champagne and crème de cassis, is the perfect way to add a touch of
elegance to any meal. Try pairing Kir Royale with a salad of mixed greens and shaved
Parmesan.
If looking for something heartier for brunch private events, try it with grilled steak or
roasted chicken.
A luncheon
For a classic pairing, try a French Pear Martini with escargot. The rich, buttery sauce of the
escargot pairs perfectly with the fruity and soft floral notes of this wine cocktail.
If you’re looking for something a little different, try pairing a Sancerre cocktail with foie
gras. The minerality of the Sancerre helps to cut through the richness of the foie gras for a
heavenly pairing.
Dinner dates
For those who like their wines on the sweeter side, consider pairing a Strawberry Riesling
cocktail with crème brûlée. The sweetness of the wine will perfectly complement the
creamy custard and caramelized sugar topping of the crème brûlée. A perfect pairing for a
romantic Parisian dinner!
Above all, don’t be afraid to experiment! By following these tips, you’ll be sure to impress
your guests with your creative and delicious French food and wine cocktail pairing.
