The Classic Clambake Drinks: Beers, Wine, and Cocktails
Here are some tried-and-true favorite drinks for a clambake that always hit the spot
Beers
Wheat beers: Light and refreshing? We got you! Witbier and hefeweizen are perfect for washing down those tasty clams and lobsters.
Pale ales: With their subtle hoppy notes and clean finish, pale ales are surely a great match for the bold flavor of your favorite clambake recipe.
Wine
White wines: Crisp, acidic..mmm.. white wines like Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Grigio cut through the richness of those buttery seafood dishes.
Rosé: A chilled glass of rosé is a fab choice that complements a lot of seafood dishes like my favorite steamed mussels to grilled shrimp.
Cocktails
Bloody Mary: This oh-so-savory, tomato-based cocktail is a real brunch staple that you could also pair swimmingly with a clambake spread.
Margarita: A tangy margarita on the rocks adds that zesty kick to your clambake party, perfect for spicing things up!
