Consider the Season<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first thing we like to do when planning a meal is to consider the season. We think about what foods are fresh and in-season right now. In the summer, this may be vine ripe tomatoes while in the winter<\/a>, hearty kale and potatoes may be more common. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the winter, we may opt for a heartier soup while the warmer months make me want to eat lighter salads. Matching your food choices to the season is a smart way to cook and it is a great way to think about what mocktails and non-alcoholic drinks<\/a> will go well with your food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just as you choose food based on the season, you should consider the seasonality of your drinks. Pick cold, refreshing<\/a> drinks in the summer and look for hot, comforting drinks in the winter. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you think about the weather then match your food and drinks to the season, chances are that the food and non-alcoholic drink will automatically go well together. When both your meal and your drinks are appropriate for the time of year, they will naturally complement one another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
