We’re in that time of year when we raise a glass and celebrate with our loved ones. There’s no better celebration drink for a holiday gathering than our new Fireside Spritz, a festive cocktail crafted with a base of Aperol, vermouth, ginger beer, prosecco, and just a touch of Christmas magic. Garnished with a cinnamon-sugar rosemary sprig, a dehydrated orange slice, and edible glitter, it’s a drink that looks as good as it tastes. Here are three perfect ways to enjoy our newest signature cocktail this winter.
3. Truffle “Maf” & Cheese
For those who love a comforting start to their meal, the Truffle “Maf” & Cheese is a perfect choice. Made with fresh mafalda pasta and tossed in a creamy cheese sauce infused with truffle tapenade, it’s finished with crispy truffled panko for that extra crunch. This appetizer is the perfect balance for the Fireside Spritz. The cocktail’s effervescence cuts through the creaminess, while its subtle spice plays against the earthiness of the truffle. Together, they’re a decadent pairing.
2. Chimichurri Bavette
If your tastes lean toward one of our classic meats, our Chimichurri Bavette is a standout pairing. Grilled to perfection and topped with chimichurri, this 7 oz marinated cut of beef delivers that smoky flavour that complements our Fireside Spritz. The cocktail's citrus notes elevate the sharp herbs of the chimichurri, while its sparkling profile refreshes the palate between each bite. It’s the kind of duo that keeps things interesting, sip after sip, bite after bite.
1. A Showstopping Match: The Holiday Tower
When it comes to pairings, no other dish comes close to our Holiday Tower. This two-tiered feast is everything you want on your plate: crispy calamari, cauliflower wings, shrimp cocktail, lobster tail, a full rack of signature ribs, grilled chicken, and tender beef bavette. It’s all served with golden fries, grilled vegetables, and coleslaw. The Fireside Spritz' sparkling citrus profile adds contrast to richer proteins like ribs and shrimp, while the ginger and vermouth offer subtle spice to complement everything from grilled chicken to the crispy vegetables on the side. This is a pairing that invites a second glass.
