How do you put together the ultimate drinks box?
Putting together a successful drinks box requires the right combination of flavors, textures, and drinks. With the right combinations, you create a festive atmosphere and ensure that your guests can enjoy themselves. Here are some tips and tricks to help you put together the perfect drinks box.
Combinations of flavors and textures
When putting together a drinks box, it's important to play with different flavors and textures. Here are some classic combinations that always work:
- Savory and sweet: For example, combine cheese and grapes, or cold cuts with fig bread for a perfect balance between savory and sweet.
- Crispy and creamy: Think crackers with brie or hummus with veggie sticks for a variety of textures.
- Salt and sour: Pickles with cheese, or olives with feta provide a nice flavor combination.
Balance between savoury and sweet snacks
To find a good balance in your drinks box, it is important to vary between savoury and sweet snacks. This prevents the flavours from dominating and ensures a varied offer. Think of:
- Savory options like nut mixes, olives and cheese cubes.
- Sweet treats such as chocolate, petit fours or fruit.
Drinks that go well with a drinks box
Choosing the right drinks can make all the difference when putting together a drinks box. Here are some suggestions for drinks that go well with different types of drinks boxes:
- White wine: Goes well with cheese and seafood.
- Special beer: Perfect with savoury snacks such as bitterballen and cheeses.
- Mocktails: For those who don't drink alcohol, mocktails with fresh fruits and sparkling water are a refreshing option.
