Top 5 Pairings from Our Drinks Menu to Delight Your January Evenings
When it comes to brightening up winter evenings, nothing beats the perfect pairing of fine drinks and delectable dishes. At the Westville Hotel, we’ve curated a selection of drink pairings designed to elevate your dining experience this January. Using items from our menu, these pairings will leave a lasting impression whether you’re visiting for a meal or simply enjoying a cozy evening in our lounge.
1. Sauvignon Blanc with King Prawn Salad
The zesty freshness of a chilled Sauvignon Blanc pairs beautifully with our King Prawn Salad. The citrus and tropical notes of the wine enhance the light, tangy flavors of the salad’s pesto and chili dressing, making for an elegant start to your meal.
Why It Works: The wine’s crisp acidity balances the dish’s bold flavors, creating a refreshing and harmonious pairing.
2. Malbec with 8oz Steak Sandwich
Bold and robust, a glass of Malbec is the perfect match for our 8oz Steak Sandwich. With juicy rump steak, onion jam, and peppered sauce served on garlic ciabatta, this hearty dish finds its ideal partner in the wine’s deep berry notes and smooth tannins.
Why It Works: The wine’s rich flavors complement the steak’s savory notes, while its tannins cut through the richness of the sauce.
3. IPA Beer with WV Chicken Wings
For a fun and flavorful pairing, try our WV Chicken Wings with a hoppy IPA beer. The tangy BBQ sauce and creamy garlic aioli on the wings are perfectly balanced by the beer’s bitter notes and crisp finish.
Why It Works: The beer’s effervescence cleanses the palate, making each bite of the wings as enjoyable as the first.
4. Gin & Tonic with Brie & Cranberry Sandwich
Light and refreshing, a classic gin and tonic pairs wonderfully with our Brie & Cranberry Sandwich. The botanicals in the gin enhance the sweetness of the cranberry and the creamy richness of the brie, while the tonic adds a crisp, sparkling finish.
Why It Works: The citrus and herbal notes in the drink balance the richness of the sandwich for a perfect midday or evening treat.
5. Espresso Martini with Tofu Curry
For a unique twist, pair our Tofu Curry with a smooth espresso martini. The curry’s sweet potato and spice flavors are beautifully offset by the coffee’s boldness and the martini’s creamy texture, making this a surprisingly delightful combination.
Why It Works: The drink’s richness contrasts with the curry’s spice, creating a balanced and satisfying finish.
