Kickstart Your Summer with Draft Top: Must-Have Drinks for Your June BBQs
As the days get longer and the weather heats up, summer BBQ season is in full swing. Whether you're grilling burgers, vegetables, or ribs, nothing pairs better with a summer BBQ than a refreshing drink. And thanks to Draft Top, you can elevate your canned beverages into an experience that enhances both the aroma and flavor of your drinks. Let’s dive into some must-have drinks for your June BBQs and why Draft Top should be a staple in your summer setup.
Best Beers for BBQs
There’s no denying that beer and BBQ go hand in hand. The right beer can bring out the best in your grilled foods. Here are a few of our top picks for summer BBQs:
-
IPA: Bold and hoppy, IPAs are perfect for rich, smoky BBQ dishes like ribs or burgers. Their bitter notes balance out the sweetness of BBQ sauce, providing a satisfying contrast.
-
Pilsner: Crisp and light, pilsners are refreshing choices that pair beautifully with grilled chicken and fish. Their clean finish makes them easy to drink throughout the day.
-
Amber Ale: With its malt-forward taste, amber ales are an excellent match for caramelized BBQ sauces, making it ideal for pulled pork or grilled vegetables.
-
Wheat Beer: Light and slightly citrusy, wheat beers are great for warmer weather. They’re refreshing and pair wonderfully with seafood or grilled chicken.
Draft Top: Enhancing Your Summer Beverages
With Draft Top, you can take any canned beverage and turn it into an open-top drink, elevating the experience. When you open a can with Draft Top, you expose the full aroma of the beverage, enhancing the flavor in a way that’s not possible with a traditional pull-tab. Here are some cocktail ideas to try with your favorite canned beverages:
-
Summer Shandy – Pour lemonade into a can of wheat beer for a refreshing citrus twist that’s perfect for hot days.
-
Michelada – Add lime juice, hot sauce, and tomato juice to your light beer for a tangy, spicy drink that’s ideal for cooling down after some grilling.
-
Can Mojito – Muddle mint, lime, and a little sugar in your can of sparkling water, then pour in rum for a crisp, minty cocktail.
-
Canned Margarita – Open a can of lime-flavored seltzer, add a shot of tequila and a splash of orange liqueur, and you’ve got an easy, delicious margarita.
