Planning a clambake event or a clambake party? Do you know that the right drinks can make all the difference? That's right!


And here at East Coast Clambakes, we're all about creating unforgettable experiences, and that includes helping you with the perfect clambake drinks to complement your feast!



The Classic Clambake Drinks: Beers, Wine, and Cocktails


Here are some tried-and-true favorite drinks for a clambake that always hit the spot


Beers

  • Wheat beers: Light and refreshing? We got you! Witbier and hefeweizen are perfect for washing down those tasty clams and lobsters.

  • Pale ales: With their subtle hoppy notes and clean finish, pale ales are surely a great match for the bold flavor of your favorite clambake recipe.

Wine

  • White wines: Crisp, acidic..mmm.. white wines like Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Grigio cut through the richness of those buttery seafood dishes.

  • Rosé: A chilled glass of rosé is a fab choice that complements a lot of seafood dishes like my favorite steamed mussels to grilled shrimp.

Cocktails

  • Bloody Mary: This oh-so-savory, tomato-based cocktail is a real brunch staple that you could also pair swimmingly with a clambake spread.

  • Margarita: A tangy margarita on the rocks adds that zesty kick to your clambake party, perfect for spicing things up!
