Spring Entertaining Ideas with Bundaberg

According to the calendar, it’s spring time and we should all be thinking about firing up the barbeque and looking at outdoor entertaining ideas. Excellent thought if you live in Mykonos, but for the rest of us, with the cold weather still nipping at our noses, it’s a little tough to think about eating outdoors right now.

But, in the spirit of, ‘any day soon now’, we’ve pulled together some Spring Entertaining ideas that will be perfect to roll out when the thought of being outdoors to eat is a little more appealing  🙂

Spring Cocktails

Nothing says it’s Spring like a fresh, tantalising cocktail sipped in your garden, or on your patio watching the sun gently set. Here’s some fabulous cocktail ideas to put you in the spring mood.

Ginger Cup

In a nod to the Pimms Cup, we give you the Ginger Cup. Light and refreshing, this one is perfect for a spring afternoon with some antipasto to hand.

You’ll Need:

  • Bundaberg Ginger Beer
  • Gin & Pimms
  • Lime Juice

Jack N Chill

Bundaberg Root Beer is a perfect mix for this super tasty cocktail – the slight hint of lemon (which comes from a little ginger root in our brew), blends perfectly with the whiskey and orange. (Tip: if you don’t have orange bitters, just pop some orange rind into the drink and mix well)

You’ll Need:

  • Bundaberg Root Beer
  • Jack Daniel’s Whiskey & Benedictine
  • Orange Bitters/ Orange Peel

Read the Jack and Chill recipe

Straight Up

Sometimes all you want is a refreshing drink without the alcohol – we’ve got you covered. Served straight over ice (maybe with a little mint garnish if you feel so inclined), Bundaberg Brews are the perfect elixir for a spring day and you can even treat yourself to our Blood Orange, Peach, Pink Grapefruit or Lemon, Lime & Bitters. 

You’ll Need

  • Bundaberg Brew of preference

Spring Recipes

Because they’re brewed with the real ingredient, Bundaberg Brewed Drinks also make a great ingredient in some flavorsome food recipes. Try these delicious taste-bud tempters with your favorite brew on the side…

Bundaberg Pulled Chicken Burgers 

Not a fan of pollo? Swap it out for carne of another kind – try pulled pork or even beef. The Ginger Beer in this recipe really works well with the meat and slaw, rounding out the flavor perfectly. Why not make little sliders and try them all? Yum

You’ll Need:

  • Bundaberg Ginger Beer
  • Roast/ Rotisserie Chicken
  • Herbs, Spices & Sauces

Guava Chicken Wings

These tasty little wings are so easy to make and will have those lucky enough to share them with you begging for more. Don’t have our Guava? No problem, substitute for the Ginger Beer – they’re awesome.

You’ll Need:

  • Bundaberg Guava (or Ginger Beer)
  • Chicken Wings
  • Herbs, spices and sauces

Spring Entertaining

Our cute little bottles make excellent table decorations – with or without the brewed goodness inside. Try these great table decoration ideas:

Bundaberg Ginger Beer Fairy Lights

+ Place a full bottle of Bundaberg in front of each place setting with a little name tag tied to each using brown string – they know where to sit, and get something tasty to drink at the same time. Win, win

 

+ Buy some battery operated fairy lights (eBay is your friend here) and pop them inside empty Ginger Beer bottles down the center of the table for a cool table centerpiece idea.
