Crisp and dry, both hard seltzers and spiked sodas complement rich dips. Serve guests quickly with a convenient 4-litre box. Try Cottage Springs Mango Vodka Water or SoCIAL Lite Fruit Punch. Let guests pick from mixed packs of vodka soda like Black Fly Vodka Crushed Mixer Pack  or hard seltzer like Bud Light Seltzer Variety Pack  or Coors Seltzer Fruit Splash Variety Pack.

Sandwiches and beer are a match made in heaven. Elegant wine bottle–size Belgian beers, like Chimay Première and La Trappe Tripel, have malty, spicy notes that are a hit with the curried chicken filling. A mini-keg of Heineken provides about 14 servings of a premium golden lager.

This summer’s hottest wine packaging is the “bagnum,” a light, space-efficient 1.5-litre bag that’s great for slipping into coolers and crowded fridges. The signature grassy note of Sauvignon Blanc wine, such as the Le Val “bagnum” Pouch, highlights the herbs in this soup.

Steak finished on the grill calls for a bold, barbecue-friendly wine! The Wanted Zin Old Vines Zinfandel has robust spice and smoke to match grilled meats. Spanish Radio Boka Tempranillo , which comes in a convenient, easy-to-store bag-in-box format with its own spigot, has softer spice plus berry and plum notes.

Larger-size spirits, in 1.14-litre or 1.75-litre bottles, are an ideal way to stock your bar at the start of summer, to serve a whole season of occasions. The nutty, salty and vanilla notes in our dessert match with barrel-matured spirits. Pour 11/2 oz Maker’s Mark Kentucky Bourbon  over one large cube or sphere of ice in a rocks glass, or add 1 oz to hot or iced coffee.
