Before you set out on your next happy hour adventure, check out these facts that'll help you pick the right appetizers for your drink of choice<\/p>\n Red wine and red meat tend to work well together all the time. If you're opting for mini burgers at your go-to spot, a simple Cabernet or Merlot will complement the natural flavors of the meat perfectly.<\/p>\n If you're dying to try that super spicy shrimp cocktail that's on the menu, let that craving guide you toward the brightness of a lovely Riesling. The apple-and-citrus notes will play well against the spice imparted onto seafood and other spicy white meat apps.<\/p>\n The grassy, citrusy nature of Sauvignon Blanc enables it to showcase the flavors of veggie dishes that aren't otherwise empowered by strong proteins. It loves all things cheese, and it's not afraid of asparagus, herbs or raw tomatoes.<\/p>\n If you're not feeling the grapes today, that's okay! There are plenty of other adult beverage options that go great with common appetizers. Strong cheeses go great with smokey or spicy whiskeys. If you're opting for an appetizer that features a softer cheese like brie, shoot for a sweeter scotch.<\/p>\n That's not necessarily a good thing, so proceed with caution. It's important to know that your body may be tricking you<\/a> when you suddenly have cravings for all those chips, chicken fingers, and everything else you might not consider eating if you weren't indulging in happy hour. Of course, as you eat, you'll become thirsty, and the thirst mechanism in your brain will want another brew. It's a fun cycle in moderation. Just be wary of the intention of those salty snacks!<\/p>\n There's no shortage of fun to be had around our River North Park apartments.
