Mango Margarita + Salmon Kilawin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
It’s a no brainer to <\/em>pair margaritas and Mexican food<\/em><\/a> but a mango margarita and kilawin? Although it sounds like an odd pairing,<\/em> the acidity of the kilawin and the acidic flavors in a margarita may just work well together<\/em><\/strong>. Add a little sweetness from the mango too and you’ve got a dish that also complements the salmon. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whiskey sour – which has bourbon as one of it’s ingredients – is known best as the <\/em>alcohol to pair with the traditional barbeque and ribs<\/em><\/strong>. The logic behind this pairing is that the fat from the meat will cool down the <\/em>“alcohol burn”<\/em><\/a> of the whiskey. If that’s the case then, then crispy pata, a fat-laden Filipino dish, must go great with this cocktail as well. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A cocktail that complements Mexican street food as well as Spanish food<\/strong>, more specifically tapas, Tequila Sunrise with the Seventy7 Titas is a match made in heaven that need no explanation. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another cocktail made with bourbon so technically goes great with meat<\/strong> as well, the old fashioned – simple and strong – can complement a crispy soy belly well ’cause it’ll cut the strong flavors of the anise sauce and tone down the richness of the belly<\/strong>. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A sweet drink that needs no introduction, the rum and coke can balance out the saltiness and garlicky flavor <\/strong>of the longganisa especially if you’ve had more than one (or three). <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the more refreshing cocktails, the <\/em>gin and tonic cocktail serves as a great contrast to the rich seafood flavor of mussels<\/em><\/strong>. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fun fact<\/strong>: Did you know that bitter and sour flavors are considered by our palate as refreshing?<\/pre>\n\n\n\nPhoto from Booky<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n Photo from Seventy7 Bar and Resto<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n Manhattan + Spicy Buttered Chicken<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Though the Manhattan is a flavor adventure in itself, if you pair it with spicy buttered chicken, you’ll surely get a rollercoaster of both flavors and textures<\/strong> – sweet, salty, spicy, herby, soft, and crunchy.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
