WHAT’S COOKING? OUR BBQ COCKTAIL PAIRINGS
HERE'S WHAT WE'D PAIR WITH OUR COCKTAILS
Piña Colada: This one loves to lap up smoky tastes. It’s silky-sweet island air, notes of tropical fruit and a white rum blend that isn’t afraid to show its face. Our pick for the classics – like fired-up burgers or sizzling hot dogs. Dressed to impress – with all the trimmings.
Margarita: Sit this one down at the table and a real taste fiesta unfolds. Pair with juicy chargrilled chicken, in a chilli marinade? Its fresh lime laugh is perfectly geared to offset a fiery, flaming feast. With crystal, clear tequila in smooth harmony. Now, imagine that on an early summer evening.
Passionfruit Martini: Go outside the BBQ box – to Peru? Passionfruit Martini is our pick with a tart and sharp ceviche. Shrimp or veggie? It’s your pick. Anything that shimmies with its velveteen tropical fruit layers. An ode to its rainforest roots.
DIY DELICIOUS – SET UP A CONDIMENT + COCKTAIL STATION
Let’s talk about BBQ ease. Because a well-prepped set-up means less time running around, and more time with a drink in hand. Our top 2 upgrades? A help-yourself station for condiments and drinks. It’s casual. It’s clever. It brings the wow.
FIRST UP - TOPPINGS TAKEOVER
The line-up:
-
Classic crowd-pleasers: ketchup, mustard, mayo
-
Fresh faves: sliced onion, tomato, gherkin, cheese
-
A little extra love: homemade guac, a punchy relish. Or something new? Red pepper hummus.
Pro tip: Serve in little bowls or ramekins. Add spoons, tongs or mini forks. It’s all in the details.
BUILD YOUR BAR
When the party’s outside, the drinks should be too. A mini garden bar adds flair (and frees up fridge space). No fancy bar cart? No stress. Use a shady table – or wheel out a wheelbarrow packed with ice. Rustic-cool.
Your essentials:
-
A mix of glasses: tumblers, wine, maybe a few flutes
-
Your choice of drinks: wine, beer – MOTH cocktails?
-
Garnishes galore: lime wedges, lemon peel, fresh mint. Find our top garnishing tips.
-
Eco-friendly straws and tiny umbrellas
-
And of course: corkscrew + bottle opener (don’t forget it!)
SIP EASY – LET’S TALK SUSTAINABILITY
Nothing beats a blue-sky BBQ. But doing it all a little greener? Even better. As a B Corp, we do our bit to be kind and generous – the planet, as well as each other. That’s why our cocktails are infinitely recyclable. Just straight into the recycling it goes. Wonder what it’ll become?

A FEW MORE FEEL GOOD BBQ TIPS
Sort it smart: Pop a recycling bin right next to your rubbish bin. Your guests will thank you – and so will the earth.
Reusable wins: Swap out disposables for reusable plates, napkins, and cutlery. Or go for compostable if you’re feeling fancy-but-kind.
Ice, ice baby: Freeze leftover fruit and herbs – they make perfect cocktail garnishes next time round. Waste not, wow more.
