Best Cocktails to Pair with BBQ
In San Antonio, Texas, you can find barbecue restaurants on practically every street. Of course, some locals consider themselves pit-masters and prefer to handle the BBQ at home on their own backyard grill. During the hot summer months in San Antonio, it can be very tempting to chow down on smoked meats without an ice-cold beer or a frozen margarita. We’re going to help you pair the right cocktail with the right meat! Keep on reading for the inside scoop.
STRAWBERRY MARGARITA
Try it with Pulled Pork or Jalapeño & Cheese Sausage!
Our Strawberry Margarita is a favorite because it’s just a little sweet! This makes it the perfectly paired balance with Jalapeño & Cheese Sausage. If your mouth is on fire, just take one sip, and you’ll feel instant relief! Some people may also think that Pulled Pork has a slightly bitter taste. Luckily, if you can pair a drink accurately, the drink will help to enhance food’s natural flavor. We bet you’ll love the pork even more!
MANGO MARGARITA
Try it with Smoked Turkey!
Did you know that our Turkey is one of our most popular items? The Mango Margarita is not too sweet, which makes the perfect addition to your meal. We also consider this the most refreshing cocktail on our menu!
FROZEN BOURBON & COKE
Try it with Smoked Brisket!
We use Jim Beam for our choice of bourbon because it doesn’t overpower the coke like some others. Our #1 most popular item on the menu is Smoked Brisket. Whether you prefer lean or moist, Bourbon & Coke would not take away from the tender, oak flavor loaded in our famous brisket.

JALAPEÑO MARGARITA
When you’re looking for an extra kick of spice, this is one drink that is becoming a staple in San Antonio! Plus, it is so simple that you can make it at home, and it will taste just as delicious as when the bartender made it.
You can either purchase pre-made margarita mix or craft your own with sweet and sour, triple sec, and tequila. We recommend this drink on the rocks. Grab a shaker, pour your margarita, add 2-3 jalapeño slices per serving, shake it, pour, and enjoy! You can always add more slices if you can handle the heat!
SPIKED MINT LEMONADE
Everyone loves a glass of lemonade on a warm Summer day! Grab a glass, muddle some mint leaves, add ice, pour 1 shot of vodka, add your favorite lemonade, and drink up! This will be the drink that will win all of your guests over – especially if you’re enjoying the outdoors on the patio.
