Choosing the Right Snack For Your Cocktail
When visiting Sky Yard Bar, the experience is made whole with a selection of carefully chosen snacks that complement your choice of cocktails. Here are five favourite snacks that promise to elevate your evening.
Mushroom Sizzler
The Mushroom Sizzler is a favourite for vegetarians and mushroom lovers alike. Served piping hot, the mushrooms are sautéed to perfection with a blend of herbs and spices that tease the palate. This dish pairs wonderfully with lighter cocktails, such as mojitos, allowing the earthy flavours of the mushrooms to shine through without overpowering your drink.
Potato Kieves
Potato Kieves are the perfect snack for those who love a good crunch. Stuffed with cheese and coated in breadcrumbs, these potato bites are fried until golden and served hot. The creamy center contrasts delightfully with the crispy outer layer, making them a great companion to gin-based cocktails like Gin and Sin or Tan Lady.
Chicken Sizzler
For those who prefer something a bit heartier, the Chicken Sizzler is an excellent choice. The chicken is marinated in a rich mix of seasonings and grilled until just right, offering a smoky and satisfying taste. It’s ideal with a robust whiskey-based cocktail, such as our signature Sleep On Marine Drive, as the strong taste of the drink complements the sizzling chicken beautifully.
Crispy Fried Chicken Wings
A universal favourite, the Crispy Fried Chicken Wings at Sky Yard are a must-try. These wings are fried to a perfect golden crisp and tossed in a signature sauce that balances sweet and spicy notes. Pair them with a classic cocktail like a martini to enhance the flavours further.
Spicy and Cheesy Potato Wedges
Last but not least, the Spicy and Cheesy Potato Wedges are for those who like a bit of heat. Seasoned with a special blend of spices and smothered in melted cheese, these wedges are comforting and addictive. They pair excellently with a cooling, creamy cocktail, such as a Mango Margarita, which helps soothe the spice while complementing the cheese.
