Pairing food with wine? That’s old news. Pairing food with cocktails? Now that’s where things get interesting. With the right combinations, you can turn any at-home meal into something memorable—and with Letterbox Cocktails, it’s never been easier to serve drinks that elevate the whole experience.
Negroni & Charcuterie
The bitter edge of a Negroni cuts beautifully through the salt and richness of cured meats and cheeses. It’s bold meets bold—and it works.
Espresso Martini & Chocolate Desserts
Coffee and cocoa are a natural duo. Pair your Espresso Martini with a rich chocolate tart, brownies, or even a scoop of gelato for a decadent finish.
Margarita & Mexican Feasts
A classic. The zingy sharpness of a Margarita is perfect with spice-laced tacos, guac, or grilled corn. It cools, contrasts, and lifts every bite.
Mojito & Grilled Seafood
Fresh mint, lime, a splash of sparkle—it’s exactly what you want alongside smoky prawns, fish tacos, or anything hot off the barbecue.
A Few Pairing Tips
Think in terms of balance. If your dish is rich, go for something sharp or citrusy. Sweet cocktails love a little salt or spice. And if in doubt, use your garnish to tie the dish and drink together—a sprig of rosemary on both, a shared citrus element, a clever contrast of colour.
So, next time you’re planning a menu, think beyond the bottle of red. Browse our cocktails, pair them with something delicious, and turn a simple night in into something to savour.
All the flavour. None of the faff.
