Editor’s note: This post was updated on June 2, 2021.<\/em><\/p>\n

W<\/span>hen it comes to pairing cheeses with beverages, cocktails aren\u2019t usually the first (or second) choice that comes to mind, which is a shame in my opinion. A well-made cocktail is every bit as complex and food-friendly as wine or beer. With the craft cocktail culture thriving, it\u2019s easier than ever to create pairings that are sure to please. <\/span><\/p>\n

Here are five cheese and cocktail pairings to try while it\u2019s still summer.<\/span><\/h4>\n
\"summer

Herbed goat cheese with a classic gin & tonic.<\/p><\/div>\n

1. Ch\u00e8vre with a Gin & Tonic<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Few cocktails embrace warm days quite like a gin & tonic. Add a splash of tonic water and a citrus wedge and soak in the sun. Gin\u2019s bright personality is a perfect partner for goat cheese, especially fresh versions. The lactic tang of a young ch\u00e8vre keeps the pairing breezy. <\/span><\/p>\n

Blue Ledge Farm\u2019s <\/span>Crottina<\/span><\/a> from Vermont has a hint of saltiness that\u2019s just enough to smooth out the cocktail\u2019s dryness a bit. Or try <\/span>Chevrot<\/span><\/a>, a dense and cakey cheese from the Loire Valley in France. Younger versions have a subtle herb flavor, perfect for coaxing out the botanicals in the gin. <\/span><\/p>\n

To really emphasize the soft herbaceousness of gin, choose a ch\u00e8vre<\/a> coated in fresh herbs. <\/span>Vermont Creamery<\/span><\/a> makes a delicious version coated in Herbes de Provence. (To make your own, simply press fresh herbs like tarragon or savory into your favorite fresh goat cheese and let it sit for a couple hours. The aromas alone are worth the effort.) Make sure to use a <\/span>Plymouth-style gin<\/span>, which tends to be a little bit sweeter and earthier than its London Dry-style counterparts. Don\u2019t skimp on the tonic water, either, and use the <\/span>good stuff<\/span>. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"
\nBrillat-Savarin<\/a> from France<\/p>\n

2. Triple Cream with a Banana Daiquiri<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Not all rum drinks have to drown in pineapple or guava juice. The butt of many alcoholic jokes, <\/span>banana daiquiris<\/span><\/a> are actually elegant and refreshing cocktails. To be clear, I am <\/span>not <\/span><\/i>talking about frozen daiquiris\u2014those kitschy drinks are way too sweet and completely overpower a cheese. <\/span><\/p>\n

Go with the <\/span>classic Cuban concoction<\/span>. The simple combination of aged rum, citrus juice, and sweetener can be served over ice, or shaken and poured straight up into a cocktail glass. Aged rums have more sweetness and body than their unaged counterparts. Their flavors are far more intriguing, often showing vanilla, spices, and even smoke.<\/span><\/p>\n

The balance of sweet and sour can be sublime for cutting through a buttery, rich, and salty triple cream cheese. Think <\/span>Brillat-Savarin<\/span><\/a> from France or Nettle Meadow Farm\u2019s opulent <\/span>Kunik<\/span><\/a>. With fat contents hovering around 75 percent, these cheeses are all about pleasure, but the daiquiri lends a little balance.  <\/span><\/p>\n

Add <\/span>cr\u00e8me de banane<\/span><\/i><\/a> to give this cocktail a touch of sweet earthiness that will frame the delicate notes of mushroom often found in the rind of these cheeses, especially versions with a little age. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"Manchego<\/p>\n

3. Manchego with Margaritas<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Years ago I lived in Mexico for a spell, mostly to eat amazing street food and drink a lot. While there, an elderly gentleman showed me his way to make a margarita and I\u2019ve never looked back. It\u2019s hands-down the tastiest, most refreshing summer sipper I know. That night he served it with … Manchego<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

This pairing is all about contrast. The cocktail\u2019s tartness and the soft vegetal tones from the tequila are offset by the cheese\u2019s saltiness. Manchego also has a subtle bite and lingering finish, which keeps it from disappearing in the drink\u2019s fresh acidity. <\/span><\/p>\n

If you want to try <\/span>El Se\u00f1or\u2019s <\/span><\/i>Margarita, here\u2019s how it\u2019s made. The secret to this recipe is in the ratios of the three ingredients. It\u2019s 2 parts tequila, 1 part agave nectar, and the fresh juice of \u00bd a lime. Combine, shake, and serve over ice. That\u2019s it. No orange cura<\/span>\u00e7<\/span>ao or triple sec. Salt the rim if you like. I even top it with a splash of sparkling water to add a little effervescence.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Pyrenees Brebis with a Vodka Martini<\/strong><\/h2>\n

When it comes to this classic cocktail, simplicity is best. The hallmark of a well-made martini is a clean, uncomplicated flavor. Dating back to the 19th century, the martini recipe originally called for gin and vermouth. But around the 1950\u2019s, vodka became an option to replace gin. <\/span><\/p>\n

Pyrenees Brebis cheeses have a gloriously milky-sweet flavor with hints of brown butter and nuts. That richness of flavor and fuller-bodied mouthfeel provide a great canvas for the nuances of a well-crafted martini. Vermouth is complex and layered, with notes of herbs and spices that will let the earthy tones of the cheese shine. I\u2019m partial to <\/span>Abbaye de Belloc<\/span><\/a>, but there are many excellent options available. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"summer5. Gouda-Style with a Nor\u2019Easter<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Pairing cheese and cocktails doesn\u2019t have to be a dainty affair. There are combinations with plenty of heft and weight, great for an after-dinner dessert alternative or a stand-alone treat. <\/span><\/p>\n

Gouda<\/a>-style cheeses are oh-so-satisfying: they often have delicious flavors of butterscotch and honey with hints of nuts and vanilla, a hefty, dense texture, and lingering finish. <\/span>Bourbon has a marvelously rich flavor that pairs seamlessly with cheeses that have those caramelized flavors, especially when the bourbon is barrel-aged. Both the booze and the cheese share warm flavors of vanilla and subtle tones of spice. <\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>Nor\u2019Easter<\/span><\/a> is a cocktail that only adds to the caramelly party. Bourbon brings the oomph, lime juice provides the zing, maple syrup adds a touch of sweetness, and a splash of ginger beer rounds out the quartet. The result is a complex, warming cocktail loaded with sweet and spicy flavors perfectly suited for a deeply flavorful cheese like <\/span>Wilde Weide<\/a>, a raw-milk boerenkaas (farmhouse) cheese<\/span> from the Netherlands. Even cheddar makes a great partner for this cocktail. Give <\/span>Jasper Hill Farm\u2019s<\/span><\/a> inimitable Cabot Clothbound Cheddar a try. You won\u2019t be disappointed. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
