What’s not to love about popcorn? The ubiquitous snack is delicious, convenient, and available in a wide variety of flavors. Whether you have a perpetual sweet tooth or prefer something savory, you’ll find just the right one to please your palate. Take the experience a step further by pairing your snack with a tasty beverage. Here are four to consider.

What Are the Best Drinks to Have With Popcorn?

1. Red Wine

Red wine is a sophisticated partner for salty, buttery popcorn. The tannin in the alcohol cuts the mouthfeel of sodium without taking away from the popcorn’s flavor. The effect is well-rounded and robust, with the taste of both the snack and the drink shining powerfully.

2. Rosé

Kettle corn is often an acquired taste. For those who can’t resist that delightful blend of salty and sweet flavors, a glass of rosé champagne makes an excellent complement. Crisp and refreshing, with notes of strawberry and spice, the champagne reflects both flavors nicely instead of clashing with them.

3. Strawberry Peach Bellini

Such a sweet cocktail surely doesn’t belong with a bowl of popcorn—unless it’s one equally sweet, like cinnamon or caramel popcorn. To prepare this mouth-watering beverage, coat a wet rim with strawberry sugar, then blend an eighth of a cup each of frozen peaches and strawberries with simple syrup. Pour into the glass and top with prosecco.

4. Whiskey Sour

Give your cheddar popcorn a boost with a glass of whiskey sour on the side. This one is simple: combine two ounces of bourbon whiskey with half an ounce each of lemon and lime juice, plus an ounce of simple syrup. Shake, pour over ice, and finish with a lemon wedge. You’ll enjoy the nuanced flavors of your drink alongside the sharpness of the cheddar.
