We know that other drinks go hand in hand with salad, pickles or sauerkraut, but would such salads and appetizers go well with a stronger drink like whiskey. And precisely because of its gentlemanly flavor, is it good to serve whiskey with appetizers?
Although for a long time people thought that whiskey was only drunk on its own (possibly with only a few lumps of ice - which most whiskey connoisseurs deny), nowadays it is known that there are some appetizers, which go particularly well with whiskey. Here's what it's good to learn when it comes to what appetizers whiskey is served with in different countries.
The truth is that whiskey goes with almost any nuts and in some countries even this alcoholic drink is served with dried fruit. However, almonds and hazelnuts are classics.
In Scotland, for example, which, along with Ireland, disputes whether the original whiskey is Scotch or Irish, this drink is often served with roasted meats. Bacon and roasted ham are honored. This is especially true when high-alcohol and stronger-tasting whiskey is served on the table.
In Ireland, whiskey is often served with smoked salmon, sandwich bites with caviar, cod and even mussels.
In the US, in many establishments you can find whiskey served with fried foods, including fries and in Europe you should not be surprised if you see all kinds of chocolate desserts served with whiskey, including baked pies.
Cheeses with a sharper taste, such as blue cheese for example, are quite suitable for any whiskey, as long as it is high in alcohol and strong in taste.
Many prefer to consume whiskey with dark chocolate.
And if you don't have any of the above suitable appetizers for whiskey, then you probably have a carrot or two in your fridge. Cut the carrot into thin strips, dip it in a glass of lemon juice and you can't go wrong. In fact, that's how they make the cocktail carrot sticks you've seen in bars that go with all kinds of "hard" drinks.
And here we have hidden for you the recipe for homemade whiskey. And if you find it a little strange to make homemade alcohol, trust one of these proven whiskey recipes.
