Tips for pairing cocktails with BBQ cookouts

Are you looking to spice up your BBQ cocktails? Expert mixologists from TheMixer.com offer tips and recipes to pair the right cocktail for the occasion.

With Florida’s hot summer days, refreshing drinks with a citrusy or fruity profile will usually make a good option. You can get more creative and match the intensity of the meal for special occasions.

Spicy margaritas pair well with grilled shrimp or jalapeno poppers. However, summer spritzers offer a lighter flavor profile that pairs well with flatbreads and pasta salad. Kentucky mules also complement smoky BBQ flavors with a kick of ginger and lime.
