So, you've chosen Dallas barbecue catering for your event. Now, let’s talk about quenching that thirst. Pairing the right drink with your smoked delicacies can elevate the meal to a whole new level.
1. Sliced Brisket & Chopped Brisket
Beverage: Iced Tea (with a lemon wedge)
Why it works: The brisk sweetness of iced tea complements the smoky and tender texture of the brisket. The lemon's zest provides a citrusy contrast to the richness of the meat.
2. Sausage & Jalapeno Sausage
Beverage: Light Lager or Lemon-Lime Soda
Why it works: The effervescence and lightness of both beverages cut through the rich fattiness of the sausage. The beer's maltiness and the soda's sweetness can tame the heat of the jalapeno variant.
3. Turkey
Beverage: White Wine (like a Chardonnay) or Apple Juice
Why it works: The mild, smoky flavors of the turkey find harmony with the fruity notes in white wine or apple juice. It's like Thanksgiving, but with a smoky twist!
4. Ham
Beverage: Amber Ale or Ginger Ale
Why it works: The maltiness of amber ale, or the spicy kick from ginger ale, balances the saltiness of the ham. It’s a refreshing way to wash down those delicious bites.
5. Ribs
Beverage: Dark Ale or Root Beer
Why it works: These ribs, slathered in BBQ sauce, need a drink that can stand up to them. The caramel undertones in both dark ale and root beer accentuate the sweet and smoky sauce, making for a delightful pairing.
6. Pulled Pork & Pulled Chicken
Beverage: Cold Brew Coffee (with a hint of milk) or Cola
Why it works: Now, before you dismiss it, think about it: the robust flavors of cold brew can enhance the smokiness of the pulled meats. And if coffee's not your thing, the caramel notes of cola work wonders too.
