To enjoy seafood, one needs to be a passionate and an experimentive foodie. Due to its high prices and unavailability at just anywhere, one needs to learn about their options well in advance to get the most out of their money. To help you decide on the daaru, Unsobered brings you 5 cocktails that go perfectly well with some widely available seafood delicacies.
1. Mai Tai – Lobster
The fruity and sweet mai tai complements the succulent tender lobster as amazingly as Marine Drive complements Mumbai. The sweet flavours gel together and the meat consistency is highly supported by this cocktail.
If you are the one to experiment, add some mango-flavoured rum to your cocktail.
2. Bloody Mary – Shrimp
The spicy flavour of a bloody mary goes really well with the melting shrimp in your mouth. It is even better if you add some seafood seasonings with a lemon wedge on the glass rim. The worcestershire sauce and vodka bring a taste so delightful to the table that you might just end up eating and drinking for two in one sitting!
3. Tom Collins – Crab
The light citrusy flavour of a Tom Collins does not overpower the sweetness of the delicate crab meat. Strong drinks such as dark rum will mask the flavours of your meal so it is advised to order/make a light cocktail.
Make sure your cocktail is low on sugar because you don’t want it to disturb the flavourful crab delicacy served in front of you.
4. Daiquiri – Oysters
The sweet flavours of a Daiquiri favour the contrasting brininess of oysters. For this reason alone, it’s a best fit for a drink order when feasting on this majestic delicacy. Add some citrus flavour to this whole experience by adding a lemon wedge in your drink and you are on your way to a greatly-satisfying meal!
5. Gin & Tonic – Fish
I know you have not heard of this one but G&T goes extremely well with fish delicacies, and this is because of the bursting citrus flavours coming together on one table. Use a lime/lemon as garnish and some salt for the glass rim to serve a packed drink with the fishful meal.
But remember to use quality gin to get the best of this experience.
