Johnnie Walker Blue Label and burgers are an Emmy Awards winning pairing
As the stars prepare to walk the red carpet and dream about accepting that trophy, the real win on Emmy Awards night is an epic food and beverage pairing. Johnnie Walker Blue Label and burgers do not have to wait for after the ceremony to be enjoyed.
It always seems that award ceremonies make people hungry. Who hasn’t seen celebrities stop for an epic burger. While that trophy sits on the table, they happily dig into the juicy, meaty bite. Luckily, no one spills on that fashionable outfit.
This year, Johnnie Walker, Official Spirits Partner of the 76th Emmy Awards, partnered with Charles Joly, Diageo Reserve World Class award-winning mixologist, and Courtney Storer, renowned chef and culinary producer of The Bear, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach, 2023 Emmy-winning actor and current Emmy nominee, to share some delicious Johnnie Walker Blue Label cocktails and burger pairings.
While Courtney Storer shared her favorite food and beverage combination, all three options are worthy of exploration. Whether it is a straightforward flavor pairing or something a little more out of the box, the reality is that these flavors are memorable. Just like the nominated performances, each bite and sip leave a big impression.
Caramelized Onion Burger Paired With Elegance In Motion
A twist on a classic burger, this recipe is slightly more elevated. The caramelized onions offer a sweet note that contrasts with the sharp white cheddar. The aioli brings it all together.
Elegance in Motion is a take on a Whisky Sour. That punch of acid helps to cut through the richness of the burger. With a sparkling soda floater, those bubbles keep the sip light and refreshing.
Steak Frites Bite Paired With Dressed For Success
While this burger might fit in at a white table cloth restaurant, it is very approachable. Plus, the Johnnie Walker Blue Label Au Poivre sauce is a recipe that should be memorized. It offers tremendous versatility beyond this burger.
Paired with Dressed for Success, the slightly spice take on a classic Rob Roy, it is has depth that stands up to the Steak Frites Bite. Similar to the sophistication of the burger, this pairing is worthy of a special celebratory evening.
Chicago-Style Burger Paired With Lights, Coffee, Action!
While Chicago dog lovers appreciate that food which has been dragged through the garden, this whimsical burger is what food lovers appreciate. It takes familiar flavors and transforms them. From the sport pepper to the pickles, this double patty is worth of its city of Big Shoulders name.
Since the burger is fun, the cocktail pairing needs to capture that vibe as well. Lights, Coffee, Action is a frozen take on an Espresso Martini. This fun, engaging take on the uber popular cocktail is the spin that will have people thirsty for more.
