Food and cocktail combinations to die for
We’ve all heard of pairing wine with food, but for something similar but decadently different, La Raza have teamed up with Cambridge Cookery School’s bistro and café to provide mouthwatering food and cocktail combinations. This particular strand of pairing has become a popular New York pastime in recent years and on 28 June you can savour it for yourself.
A tapas-style menu takes inspiration from uber-hip Scandinavian cuisine as well as delicious flavours from the Mediterranean. That sounds just fab… and that’s before a range of amazing tastes that La Raza’s expert bartenders have matched with some perhaps surprising cocktails.
“We wanted to give people a really broad range of flavours to try with both the food and the drinks, and we’ve had a lot of fun finding the perfect matches,” said Charlie Anderson, owner of La Raza. “The freshness of the Scandi dishes works really well with gin and vodka cocktails, and deeper flavours of the Italian dishes can take stronger bases, such as whisky, or the bitterness of Aperol.”
Cambridge Cookery Bistro and Café founder Tine Roche said it’s been an exciting challenge to match the food to cocktails. “Cambridge is becoming a very food-and-drink-savvy city. It is more than ready for something new and different like this.”
