Happy Friday! TO kick off this amazing holiday weekend, we’re sharing a fabulous food pairing. We are huge fans of whiskey and seafood! Luckily The Famous Grouse is mixing together Grouse & Ginger drams to pair perfectly with everyone’s favorite summer snack, The Lobster Roll. Nicola Riske, Brand Ambassador at The Famous Grouse dished on this dynamic pairing, “Whisky pairs beautifully with a lobster roll as the creamy mayo and melted butter combination with coat your mouth and then soften the alcohol on your palate. Specifically, The Famous Grouse pairs perfectly due to the zesty orange and citrus notes, which compliments the freshness of the lobster, celery and lemon already in the recipe,”
