Best BBQ Cocktails: What's the Perfect Drink for Toasting Outdoors?
When the days start to get longer and the temperatures become milder, the desire to spend time in company in the open air, to savor the contact with nature and to light the grill returns!
Whether it's an Easter Monday barbecue, a day of celebration with friends, a gathering or a lunch on the road, there's one element that can't be missing: the right cocktail to toast together. And if there's a drink that embodies the spirit of conviviality, that's the Spritz!
But why is Spritz the perfect cocktail for a barbecue ? Let's find out the reasons why Spritz is the ideal choice and how to prepare it in just a few moments for all your friends with Sprizzer , the machine for making a perfect Spritz, quickly and easily.
Cocktails for BBQ: The Importance of the Right Drink
In a respectable barbecue, food is the undisputed protagonist, but if it is accompanied by the right drink, the result will be even more special! A good barbecue cocktail must be fresh, light, thirst-quenching and capable of enhancing the strong flavors of grilled meat or the lightness of fish and roasted vegetables.
So, what to drink with a barbecue ? Among the most popular options are undoubtedly beer, with its versatility and fizziness, and wine, which thanks to its full-bodied taste pairs perfectly with the smoky flavors of the grill. However, not all guests may prefer one of the two drinks and that's why the Spritz is a great alternative.
With its balanced mix of bubbles and freshness and its unmistakable sweet and bitter taste, it is the ideal candidate for any outdoor barbecue: perfect for spring days, it is a drink that everyone agrees on, it is quick to prepare and pairs excellently with any food cooked on the grill.
