There’s something special about Toronto after dark. Whether you’ve just returned from a thrilling Raptors game, a concert at the Scotiabank Arena, or a night out with friends, the city’s energy doesn’t have to stop when the clock strikes midnight. With Drink Ink, Toronto’s top late-night alcohol delivery service, you can keep the good times rolling long after the bars close and continue your celebration from the comfort of home.
One of the best ways to keep the vibe alive? Pairing your late-night drinks with your favourite snacks or cravings. Whether you’re winding down or still feeling the adrenaline, here are some perfect drink pairings that will help you make the most of those late-night hours.
1. Whiskey and Comfort Food: The Ultimate Late-Night Pairing
After a high-energy event, sometimes you just want something warm and comforting. There’s no better drink to pair with a cozy, indulgent night than a glass of whiskey. Whether it’s a smooth rye or a peaty Scotch, whiskey pairs beautifully with rich, savoury foods like poutine, grilled cheese, or fried chicken. The bold, smoky flavours of whiskey complement the saltiness of comfort food, making it the perfect post-night-out treat.
2. Wine and Cheese: A Sophisticated Midnight Indulgence
Sometimes, you’re in the mood for something a bit more refined after a night out. A glass of red wine or champagne pairs perfectly with a cheese platter, offering a classy, mellow vibe to wind down your evening. For red wine, opt for a bold Cabernet Sauvignon or a lighter Pinot Noir, which pair nicely with sharp cheeses like cheddar or gouda. If you’re in the mood for something bubbly, a crisp Champagne or Prosecco complements soft cheeses like brie or goat cheese.
3. Tequila and Tacos: A Late-Night Fiesta
If you’re still feeling energetic after a night out, why not keep the fiesta going? Tequila is the perfect spirit for a late-night taco indulgence. Pair a smooth reposado tequila with some freshly made tacos—whether you prefer shrimp, beef, or classic carnitas. The bright, citrus notes of tequila complement the flavours of the salsa, avocado, and lime in your tacos, making for a vibrant, flavourful pairing.
Tip: Need tequila delivered to keep the party going? Drink Ink has you covered with quick, late-night deliveries so you can keep your taco night rolling into the early hours.
4. Beer and Late-Night Pizza: A Match Made in Heaven
Pizza and beer are a classic late-night pairing, and for good reason. If you’ve just come home after a night out, nothing hits quite like a hot slice of pizza and a cold, refreshing beer. Whether you prefer a hoppy IPA or a smooth lager, the crispness of beer complements the richness of cheesy pizza, creating the ultimate post-night-out comfort food experience.
5. Vodka and Light Bites: Perfect for Relaxing After a Big Night
For a more low-key late-night drink, consider a vodka cocktail like a Moscow Mule or Cosmopolitan, paired with light bites like olives, nuts, or fresh fruit. Vodka’s clean, crisp flavour makes it a great match for more delicate, lighter snacks. After an eventful night, this drink and snack combo is perfect for unwinding in front of the TV or having a quiet chat with friends.
