3 Tips for Spring Dessert and Drink Pairings

Pairings, whether with coffees or spring cocktail ideas, can be remarkably intuitive.  Trust your taste buds, and you’ll never be short of inspiration for spring dessert-drink pairings.  Here are a few tips to consider:

1. Harmonious Flavors
   • When pairing drinks with dessert, aim for harmony rather than overpowering the taste.  Consider similar flavor profiles, like pairing citrus with citrus to enhance the flavors, or balancing sweetness with tartness.  For contrast, try pairing a sweet drink with a tart dessert or sour with salty for a delightful surprise.
2. Gauge Intensity
   • For a light dessert, opt for a light-tasting beverage like a fruity wine.  Meanwhile, a rich treat such as dark chocolate mousse deserves something stronger, like an espresso.
3. Mind the Texture
   • Texture plays a crucial role, encompassing richness, velvety smoothness, crispness, and everything in between.  Consider how these textures will relate – whether they complement or contrast each other.  For instance, a creamy drink will pair well with a rich dish like cheesecake.

Easy Spring Desserts With Drink-Pairing Ideas

To keep our offerings fresh, we rotate through various batches of our seasonal treats.  We’re constantly introducing new specialty kringle flavors and other delectable treats tailored to the season, especially for Mother’s Day, Memorial Day, and our Seasonal Kringle.

Now, let’s dive into some easy spring desserts with perfectly paired drink ideas:

Rhubarb Kringle

One spring dessert that our customers absolutely adore is our Rhubarb Kringle.  Made with tart rhubarb encased in our flaky pastry, topped with a sweet icing, it’s the perfect dessert for a picnic or cookout.  To complement the tartness of the rhubarb, we suggest pairing it with a sweet sparkling rosé.  For a non-alcoholic choice, pair it with a refreshing lemonade or sparkling water.

Raspberry Lemonade Mousse Cake

Our Raspberry Lemonade Mousse Cake is the epitome of a perfect springtime dessert – fresh, fruity, and evoking nostalgia.  Crafted from scratch, it features layers of lemon yellow cake, raspberry mousse, and lemon custard.  Indulge in a generous slice outdoors and pair it with refreshing spring drinks like iced teas, pink lemonades, springtime raspberry mojito cocktails, or sparkling wine or champagne.

Lemon Crown Cake

Spring is all about renewal and the return of lightness after a long winter.  Our airy Lemon Crown Cake is the perfect shareable dessert for an outdoor gathering or Sunday brunch.  Pair it with Earl Grey tea to accentuate its tartness, or opt for a more festive cocktail like vodka lemonade.

King’s Chocolate Layer Cake

Made with rich cocoa and dark chocolate silk filling, topped with chocolate buttercream, this cake is a chocolate lover’s dream.  The added texture of the crisp chocolate curls provides an interesting contrast.  Rich chocolate cake pairs well with strong drinks like espresso, or even better, espresso martinis.  Alternatively, for a classic dessert and drink pairing, any dessert wine such as Riesling will complement it beautifully.

Raspberry Kringle

One of our top sellers is our Raspberry Kringle.  While this delightful treat can be enjoyed year-round, there’s something about warmer weather that perfectly complements its flavor profile.  If you’re treating yourself to an indulgent breakfast, consider pairing it with a white chocolate mocha to complement the sweetness.  For a contrasting option with a tart profile, a glass of orange juice would be perfect.  And for a delightful after-dinner dessert, consider a raspberry gin or vodka cocktail – among the best spring cocktails.
