Top 5 Bar Snacks That You Need To Pair With Your Booze

Tasty nibbles that make your drinks taste better!

23 Mar, 2018 by Susmita Saha

In the old days, bar snacks owed deep allegiance to oil and spice in equal measure. But, as watering holes started getting a serious snacks game, touches of whimsy and inventiveness began dotting their bar menus as well. Today, deeply fried nibbles have disappeared from one’s laundry list of bar eats. Instead, you can take your pick of small bites that doff their hats to global cuisines as well as assorted cheese that are both fresh and flavourful. Pub crawlers mostly pair their tipple with moreish bites that do not force them to break their diet rules and have a clean flavour profile to boot.

Playground

Playground at JW Marriott New Delhi Aerocity, a lounge, food truck and speakeasy, all rolled into one, is the new hangout hotspot in town that is giving bar snacks a new spin. Here, you can pair a dish of artisanal Burrata (priced at Rs 1000) with a spicy Pineapple Margarita (a tequila-based cocktail with pineapple, habanero, pink peppercorns and salt). Similarly, Gambas Al Ajillo (priced at Rs 1200) made of prawns, garlic chips, white wine, lemon, parsley can be teamed with the Spice Market Old Fashioned cocktail (whisky rum blend, Indian spices and bitters). Another sophisticated platter, the outfit has on offer is the Atelier Cheese Board (Rs 1200) - a selection of 5 gourmet cheese, homemade relish, dried nuts, which enhances the red wine sipping experience.

The Hong Kong Club

The Hong Kong Club, a fairly recent addition to the Oriental dining scene, has a new interpretation for drink accompaniments. A dish fashioned out of Marinated Green Asparagus And Mustard Oil (priced at Rs 520) is a light and flavourful nibble to go with your Tipple, while Crushed Cucumbers And Black Vinegar (priced at Rs 320) is a refreshing alternative to greasy bar food. In case, you want to savour creatively-constructed plates along with your favourite drink, there is Crunchy Endive, Pickled Vegetables, Peanut Mustard (priced at Rs 480) on the Hong Kong Club’s menu.
