The festival of lights is a time to create unforgettable memories with loved ones, and what could be a more perfect setting for these shared moments than a delightful Diwali party? As a way to elevate your celebration to a whole new level, we’ve created a list of perfectly festive food and drink pairings that will equally liven up a grand Diwali party or a cozy family dinner.Tequila and Lamb VindalooLamb Vindaloo, a dish from Goa, is known for its heat and intricate flavors. Tender pieces of lamb are marinated in a blend of exotic spices and then slow-cooked to perfection. The rich, robust flavors of this dish find an unexpected ally in PATRÓN Reposado. The tequila’s subtle sweetness and matured complexity mellow the dish’s intense heat while enhancing its tangy, spicy undertones.Mango Chilli Rum and Kerala style Mango Fish CurryThe curry is a culinary gem from God’s own country and tantalizes the palate with its sour, sweet and spicy notes, creating an exciting blast of flavors. BACARDI Mango Chilli, on the other hand, is a tropical delight that captures the essence of ripe, juicy mangoes, enhanced with a hint of chilli for an unexpected kick. The sweetness of the mango in both the drink and the dish harmonizes perfectly, while the chilli in the BACARDÍ provides a delightful contrast to the tanginess of the curry.Vodka and Hara Bhara KebabsA pairing of classics, the Grey Goose martini paired with savory hara bhara kebabs brings together the world-renowned smoothness of Grey Goose vodka with the lightly spiced flavors of India’s beloved appetizer. The crisp, sharp taste of the martini acts as a perfect balance to the kebabs’ herbaceous and lightly spiced taste. A lemon twist or briny olive garnish to the cocktail will further enhances the vibrant contrast between the two. Blending French sophistication with Indian heartiness, this pairing is sure to be a hit at your next Diwali gathering.Gin and Chicken Malai TikkaThe vibrant botanical notes of the well-loved BOMBAY SAPPHIRE gin should be a mainstay at your Diwali party – best experienced in a classic G&T, paired with the beautiful mild and buttery flavors of a Chicken Malai Tikka. The creamy, mildly spiced tikka harmonizes effortlessly with the gin’s smooth, herbal notes, creating a balanced and flavorful combination. Together, they offer an ideal blend of aromatic warmth and rich Indian taste—an impeccable choice to elevate your special occasion.Whiskey and Mutton KormaFor a truly indulgent Diwali pairing, you need to look no further than a rich mutton korma matched with the distinguished upper shelf DEWAR’S 21 Year Old Scotch whisky. The Scotch’s layered notes of dark fruits and subtle honey create a luxurious counterpoint to the qorma’s creamy texture, which offers hints of cashew paste, rose water, saffron, and fragrant spices. The smooth warmth of DEWAR’S enhances each savory bite of the tender, spiced mutton, creating a memorable pairing that will stay on your guests minds for days to come.News lifestyle The Best Drinks And Food Pairings to Dazzle Your Guests This Diwali
