Everyone loves margaritas! They're served in bars, in backyard barbecues, in ladies' night outs, and even in spring break parties.
They are one of the most popular drinks here in the U.S., much so that it was hailed as the most ordered drink back in 2008. On average, people were amazingly drinking 185,000 margaritas per hour. So is it any wonder why it remains as one of the top choices when it comes to party beverages?
But as they say, no party drink is ever complete without its companion food. Even margaritas have their accompanying "hors d'oeuvre" to excite your taste buds and keep the conversation going during lull moments.
If you aren't familiar with a margarita’s matching snacks and delicacies, then no worries; here are a couple of tasty suggestions.
For Fruity Margaritas
Sweet, cold, and refreshing, that's the perfect way to describe fruit-flavored margaritas. Some examples of their fruity variants are strawberry, raspberry, melon, mango, and peach.
While the average drinker may suggest pairing it with crispy nachos, the best choice would actually be something sweet and creamy as well! You could serve flan, dairy-free ice cream known as sorbet, or fruit salads. While it may seem repetitive at first, these delicacies would actually emphasize the taste of your fruity margaritas better.
Never serve it with spicy snacks, as the combination of the spice and the fruity flavor may turn out bitter.
For Margaritas on the Rocks
This is simply a margarita served with ice. If you were to order it in a bar, the default flavor would be lime, so the best choice of snack for it would actually be any type of delicacy that incorporates lime as well. Some examples may include fresh salads, ceviche, wraps, and chili lime steak.
If you really want to go all out and present something that would fit with its tangy flavor, you might as well go for shrimps, as they are the signature snack of default lime. You may have even seen them served as a type of "hanging décor" along the sides of the margarita glass.
For Spicy Margaritas
By now, you may have guessed what type of food goes well with a spicy margarita. Following the pattern of the last two pointers, no other choice would be perfect but spicy snacks! You may simply pick any spicy Mexican food that you could think of, but if you want a little more finesse in your options, you may go for chicken taquitos, chicken fajitas, and spicy shrimp. Add a couple of corn-roasted salsa, and you've got yourself a tongue-numbing treat.
Conclusion
Margaritas have always been a party favorite here in the U.S. You can't get past any event or occasion without being offered one of its variants, and obviously, you should not be one to refuse its slushie mix of tequila, orange liqueur, and lime juice.
If you would ever organize your own event, be the life of the party by serving margaritas and matching it with a tasty snack. Your guests would love you for it, and they'll think of you as a party connoisseur.
