Raise a glass and say yes chef to these The Bear inspired cocktails
While The Beef might be transformed from simple corner restaurant into a refined dining experience, that call of “Yes Chef” is stronger than ever. With these The Bear inspired cocktails, everyone can watch ever knife cut, tweezer garnish, and smashed plate in the upcoming season with a spirited beverage in their hand.
The Bear might be a comedy, or a dramedy, but the Hulu television show is loved beloved by the food world. From the person who understands the restaurant world to the viewer who can see all the Chicago influences in the scenes, the bingeable season keeps people glued to the screen.
Since the show has become a focal point or even an excuse to throw a party, it make sense to consider some food and beverage pairings for the watching moment. Recently, Tequila Avion has suggested three The Bear inspired cocktails to enjoy while watching the upcoming season.
Bloody Mary with a Potato Chip Rim
One of the most iconic food moments is the omelet. While it might have been a nod to a classic chef test, that simple dish showcases how a food is more than just another meal. When care and craft go into that dish, it is and will be memorable.
With this Bloody Mary with a Potato Chip Rim is a nod to that omelet moment. Some Bloody Mary cocktails might have an entire meal balanced on that glass, it really comes down to just the perfect balanced sip.

Burnt Grapefruit Paloma
The paloma is a popular cocktail, especially for the summer. Balancing the tart flavor can require a delicate hand. Let’s be honest, marinated radicchio and burnt grapefruit may never make the menu. But, the slight char in this cocktail adds a lovely smoky quality to the fruit forward tequila cocktail.

For anyone who loves a little extra briny note in that sour cocktail, the secret ingredient in this cocktail is a game changer. Plus, the garnish is the perfect Chicago Dog reference.
