BBQ Drinks: Fentimans’ Best Summer Barbecue Food Pairings

Nothing says summer quite like a sizzling barbecue in the garden. From juicy burgers and hot dogs to fresh salads and smoky grilled vegetables, the food is usually always the star of the show, but not always! 

Fentimans’ range of Botanically Brewed drinks is packed with complex, bold flavours that stand up to hearty barbecue dishes while still feeling refreshing on a summer’s day. Whether you’re serving meaty classics, vegetarian favourites, or light summer sides, here’s how to pair Fentimans with your BBQ menu.

Ginger Beer: Pairs Perfectly with Burgers & Hotdogs

A smoky barbecue burger or a chargrilled hot dog needs a drink with a bit of punch – and Fentimans Ginger Beer delivers. Its fiery, Botanically Brewed flavour cuts through rich, meaty dishes, balancing out the fattiness while adding a refreshing kick. Try serving it ice-cold with a wedge of lime for the ultimate BBQ companion.

Rose Lemonade: Pairs Perfectly with Fresh Salads

Fresh garden salads, grilled halloumi or couscous dishes pair beautifully with Fentimans Rose Lemonade. The delicate floral notes and refreshing citrus edge complement lighter summer flavours without overpowering them. It’s also a great alcohol-free option that feels elegant enough for entertaining.

Pink Rhubarb Tonic: Pairs Perfectly with Grilled Veggies & Seafood

For something a little more unusual, pair Fentimans Pink Rhubarb Tonic Water with grilled vegetables, hearty grains or seafood skewers. Its subtle tartness and fruity edge bring out the sweetness of chargrilled peppers, courgettes, avocado or prawns, making it a refreshing choice for lighter BBQ plates.

(For those who want to make it boozy, it’s also the perfect base for a summer gin spritz.)

Curiosity Cola: Pairs Perfectly with BBQ Ribs & Pulled Pork

BBQ ribs, pulled pork or anything sticky and smoky are crying out for a cola – but not just any cola. Fentimans Curiosity Cola is Botanically Brewed with a rich depth of flavour that pairs beautifully with sweet, smoky barbecue sauces. Serve it over ice for a classic, nostalgic BBQ drink.
