To ask what alcohol to serve with meal tonight?……

[ClickClack300]

Making fajitas for the girls tonight and we rarely get together so wanted to get some alcohol incase anyone fancies a drink with the food.

Red wine - red meats
White wine - white meats/fish

What would you like to give me inspiration. I have gin, vodka etc in the cabinet they can have but anything thing else that would go well?

Margaritas!

Tequila

Margaritas!! A jug of ice cold margaritas sound perfect with that meal.

Make frozen daiquiris and margaritas? It’s lovely weather for an icy cocktail.

If it is fajitas I'd be all over spicy margaritas or frozen daiquiris! Or if you've seen recently the open can cocktail trend? That's really cute for a girls night!

Margaritas and white sangria!

We never follow the "rules". We just drink something we enjoy. If you are enjoying nice weather I would look at doing long cocktail style drinks and/or chilled white wine.

You sound like a lovely host. I hope your evening goes with a swing.

I like gimlet with that kind of food

Sounds lush op! What time should I head over??

That sounds lovely @OneTC. I would probably add soda water to make it into a long drink.

Can’t go wrong with ice cold rose in the summer.

Thank you ☺️

Now and you can help me
make the cocktails and we’ll have one before the others arrive 😂

I think that's called a Tom Collins and is a bloody amazing drink also good with most food

Frozen margaritas and white sangria. Maybe a frozen virgin margarita slush puppy too.

I suppose in some ways a beer like Corona goes better with fajitas than wine, if your friends are beer drinkers.

Sangria or margaritas

I suppose in some ways a beer like Corona goes better with fajitas than wine

Definitely. Some sort of chilled light beer, for sure, not wine.
Maybe a margarita as an aperitif?

I always have prosecco when it's a girls night in but lagers or gin and tonics would be perfect for this kind of summery afternoon 😍 enjoy

Coronaritas is the correct answer

Mexican beers!

Margaritas and whatever Mexican beer you can get

I'm no expert but I feel as though straight wine doesn't pair well with spicier foods. Make it a sangria.

Someone recently made me a mojito using just a shot of white rum and a fever tree £4 mixer from tescos, loaded up in a glass full of ice with a slice of lime... oh my GOD it was heaven. I usually hate mojitos but it was amazing. I went and bought the whole range for myself and they do a margarita mix too! I honestly couldn't reccomend them more they're so much nicer than any home made cocktail I've ever done.

Oh that fever tree margarita mix is lovely!

Failing that, frosé? I make the version with frozen strawberries, rosé and sugar but there are a few versions knocking about.

Margaritas for those drinking (2 parts tequila to 1 part triple sec and 1 part lime juice) plus Lidl do a lovely chilled cabinet limeade for those not drinking/only having one
