As summer starts to wind down, here are our top 5 favourite summer bbq and drink pairings to help you celebrate and end summer on a high note! Try one this Labor Day weekend and let us know how you like them?
Southern Double Cheeseburger + Whiskey Sour - Fairmont Scottsdale
Savory, smoky and complex, this burger and cocktail pairing is a match made in summer BBQ heaven. Dreamed up by the culinary geniuses of Bourbon Steak AZ, there's much more than meets the eye with this food and beverage pairing. Allow the thinly seared crust on the patties to bring out the aged charred new oak bourbon flavor, the savory elements of the burger to tame the higher proof of the bourbon, the creaminess of the thousand island dressing to sing in harmony with the frothy egg white and the acidity of the refreshing and zippy drink to cleanse the palate to get you ready for each new bite. It's quite the experience!
Cerveza BBQ Ribs - Fairmont Mayakoba
The classic recipe with a cerveza twist. Ribs and beer, can't get better than that!
Harissa Spiced Lamp Chops & Moroccan Mojitos - Fairmont Waterfront
Nothing says summer like a mojito and a BBQ! Executive Chef Karan Suri’s Harissa spiced lamb chops are the perfect addition to your grilling repertoire. For a twist on the classic mojito, Chef suggests adding hand brewed cardamom tea and freshly picked blackberries.
The Smokey Bear Burger & Mid Summer Stream Cocktail - Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise
This burger reminds you of sitting at the cottage, smelling the smoke from the BBQ while the sun is setting and the calm splash of the water. This delightful burger recipe uses local ingredients. Is your mouth watering yet? How about sipping on a refreshing Mid-Summer Stream Cocktail, the perfect addition! Try these delicious recipes out!
Peachy Keen... Summer BBQ'ing with Okanagan Peaches - Fairmont Chateau Whistler
What’s better than enjoying a summer afternoon with friends and family? Doing it with pulled pork sliders and a few cocktails. A stroll through the garden or your local farmers market seeing what summer has to offer is all the inspiration you will need.
