Alcohol accompanies many types of events: receptions, holidays, romantic dinner. For everything to succeed, it is necessary to choose the right and good snack for each type of alcohol.
How to choose an alcohol snack
First, it is worth deciding what type of alcohol will be served at the table. If it is white wine, then you can serve fruit, seafood or poultry dishes with it. Cheese with noble mold, which the French are so fond of, will go well with wine.
Red wine goes well with meat dishes, especially lamb. Table wines can be paired with poultry, a variety of game and grilled vegetables.
If a popular rosé wine is chosen, then it is better to serve cold meats, tender cheeses and various desserts with it.
Strong wines will serve as an excellent aperitif to various soups and meats. Lamb is the best choice. Salted cheeses will perfectly soften the taste of wine and awaken the appetite.
For champagne, it is customary to serve fish dishes, it can be both river and sea. Only the fish does not need to be heavily seasoned with spices. Salads with seafood, chicken are also perfect for a meal with champagne.
Do not forget about all kinds of pasta, caviar sandwiches and noble cheeses. A romantic evening with champagne should be supplemented with desserts: fruits, biscuits with berries, halva, dark chocolate or ice cream.
Oysters, mussels and snails will be a royal addition, which must be served chilled on ice cubes and with a special sauce.
Snacks for spirits
Men's companies most often prefer cognac, vodka or gin. This is a very strong alcohol, to which you should definitely serve an appetizer.
Classic cognac is consumed without a snack. The tradition of consuming cognac with lemon or chocolate exists only in Russia. Abroad, it is an exclusively standalone drink served at the end of the evening. However, to give an unsurpassed taste, you can serve milk, coffee, fruit juice, preferably orange, and ice cream with cognac.
Gin is most commonly used in cocktails. They can be served with olives, lemon wedges and even pickled onion rings.
The choice is much easier when choosing a vodka snack. Here is where fantasies can roam. Dishes with fatty meat, spicy fish will be a wonderful snack. You can make pancakes stuffed with caviar or meat, dumplings and even a hodgepodge.
The table with vodka should be supplemented with vegetable snacks based on pickled cucumbers and tomatoes, sauerkraut, apples, eggplants.
