8. Quesadilla and Gin
Quesadillas are a great snack while drinking, as they are delicious and easy to make.
You can fill your quesadilla with any cheese (or a combination of cheeses), but we love a good cheddar and jalapeno combo.
To complement the spiciness of this quesadilla, we recommend gin.
The juniper berries in gin are great at cutting through spicy foods, so grab a bottle of Bluecoat or Tanqueray for this pairing.
Quesadilla derives from the Spanish word queso (cheese) and the diminutive suffix -illa. Traditional quesadillas are made with a wheat-flour tortilla filled with cheese, dipped in an egg wash, then fried in oil until crispy.
Various fillings can be used for quesadillas, including vegetables, meats, beans, and seafood. Gin is a distilled beverage composed primarily of water and juniper berries (Juniperus communis).
It is one of the main types of alcoholic mixed drinks and was popularized in the early 17th century in England as a herbal tonic called "Mother's ruin."
