When we think about pairing drinks with cheese, we automatically think about wine. There are a number of delicious non-alcoholic drinks that can be paired with various types of cheese. Here are some of the top pairings.

Goats cheese

The best drinks to enjoy with this type of cheese include apple, citrus and floral flavoured drinks. Consider elderflower cordial, apple juice or even lemonade.

Camembert or Brie

Cheeses with a white rind are best paired with red berry-flavoured drinks. Apple-flavoured drinks are also a scrumptious combination.

Cheddar and Gouda

Harder cheeses that are not too mature need a drink with a more intense flavour. Fruity flavours or something like a sweet iced tea are always worth a try. You can even add some grapes to your drink to nibble on along with your cheese.

Blue cheese

Known for their strong flavour and aroma, blue cheese is often paired with stronger, sweeter drinks like Port. If you are looking for a non-alcoholic beverage, you will need to choose a strong-flavoured sweet tea or even something with a hint of elderberry.

The best thing to do when exploring different pairings is to experiment for yourself. Our taste buds are different from those of our friends and family. A combination that we might love could not be that appealing to our loved ones. Just remember to pair mild-flavoured drinks with mild cheeses and stronger drinks with strong-flavoured cheeses. This helps to ensure that the one does not overpower the other.
