What to serve with
When it comes to pairing the Buttery Finger cocktail with delicious treats, there are a few options that perfectly complement its flavors. Here are some ideas on what to serve alongside your Buttery Finger cocktail:
Chocolate Desserts
To enhance the chocolate and butterscotch flavors in the cocktail, consider serving it with a decadent chocolate dessert. Rich and indulgent options like chocolate brownies, chocolate truffles, or a chocolate lava cake are excellent choices. The combination of the creamy cocktail and the luscious chocolate dessert will create a mouthwatering harmony of flavors.
Salted Caramel Popcorn
The sweet and salty combination of salted caramel popcorn is an excellent match for the Buttery Finger cocktail. The crunchiness of the popcorn and the caramel notes blend well with the butterscotch and coffee flavors in the drink. It provides a contrasting texture and a delightful balance of flavors.
Cheese Platter
Consider serving a cheese platter with your Buttery Finger cocktail for a savoury option. A variety of cheeses such as brie, gouda, or blue cheese can provide a creamy and tangy contrast to the cocktail’s sweetness. Add some crackers, fruits, and nuts to create a well-rounded cheese platter that will complement the flavors of the cocktail.
Mini Tacos or Sliders
If you want to offer a cocktail-friendly savory option, mini tacos or sliders are great choices. The delicious and slightly spicy flavors of these bite-sized treats contrast the sweet and creamy cocktail. Consider options like beef sliders, pulled pork tacos, or even vegetarian options like black bean or mushroom tacos.
Final Thoughts
The Buttery Finger cocktail is a true crowd-pleaser that will elevate any gathering or special occasion. With its creamy texture, hints of butterscotch and coffee, and a touch of decadence from the crushed Butterfinger candy garnish, this cocktail will impress even the most discerning palates.
