Cran Brrr Rita Food Pairing
Bud Light Cran Brrr Rita Thanksgiving: Food Pairing
The margarita with a twist recently debuted a limited edition winter seasonal, Cran Brrr Rita. The drink combines Bud Light Lime with tart cranberry flavor and slightly sweet margarita flavor. It pours a festive, deep red hue and gives off a sweet cranberry aroma with a hint of lime. The 8% ABV beverage is served best over ice, but there are other accompaniments to this winter seasonal that also enhance the flavor. Without further ado, here is the top holiday food fare to match with Bud Light Lime Cran Brrr Rita.
Turkey
The citrus and tart notes in Cran Brrr Rita contrast the thick slices of juicy turkey, robust with earthy spices.
Stuffing
Whether your stuffing of choice is traditional, oyster, sausage, cornbread or another variety Cran Brrr Rita makes a great accompaniment. The beeriness in the beverage matches the stuffing’s starchiness while adding a sweet note to the saltiness.
Pumpkin Pie
The creaminess of the pie is offset by the light-bodied tartness of the beverage while the two types of sweet play off each other well.
Also, check out this great commercial that’s all about Cran Brrr Rita coming home for the holidays.
