What Alcohol Goes Best with Seafood?

Maybe your mind automatically thinks of white wine when it comes to seafood, but life is too short to limit yourself to that.

Both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages provide an exciting and new experience to enhance and complement the taste of the seafood you are eating.

Dry white wine adds both acidity and sweetness to seafood, similar to lemon.

Suitable wine for seafood

The best choices are:

· Chardonnay;

· Pinot Grigio;

· Pinot Gris;

· Sauvignon Blanc;

· Riesling.

Sparkling wine – whether Champagne or Prosecco goes well with any Fried Seafood.

Spirits for Seafood

· Rum – also known as the drink of sailors, so it naturally goes well with seafood.

· Vodka – the most versatile alcoholic drink. It can go well with fruity, sour or sweet flavors.

· Tequila - when served with lime can be an incredibly good addition to seafood.

· Bourbon – if you are more daring in combining flavors, you can try it.

Cocktails are a fun way to get a whole bunch of different flavors in one drink. Any drinks with citrus fruit (tomato, lemon, lime) and fresh herbs (basil, mint, rosemary) can be a great seafood alcohol pairing.

Soft Drinks for Seafood

Citrus drinks like strawberry lemonade, iced tea, or orangeade can be a wonderful seafood pairing. However - try to avoid overly sweet drinks as they can overpower the taste of the seafood.
