Grilling season is a magical time of year when the sun shines and BBQs blaze. A staple in any grilling household is the all mighty burger. The delicious combination of basic ingredients simplifies homemade comfort food to a simple science; it's all about pairing. This post will match up your favorite burgers with the best beverage. 16oz. of beef paired with 16oz. of booze; can you think of a better reason to continue reading?

The Classic Burger
This All-American All-Star has championed at many a barbecue throughout grill history. The classic ingredients (lettuce, tomato, pickles, raw onions, mayo, and mustard) are best paired with an All-American beer like Samuel Adams Boston Lager. Poured effortlessly into Cupture's beer tumbler, not a precious drop will spill while you grill or eat.

The Blue Bell Burger
This gourmet gem is smothered in delicious blue cheese and is usually paired with equally delectable fixins. If you're feeling adventurous try topping with figs, it will change your life. Beer or wine might be a little heavy for this burger. A cocktail that will compliment the saturation of flavor of this burger is a Honey Paddy. A twist on a Manhattan, this cocktail replaces vodka with honey whiskey. The warm hints of honey will compliment the sweet tones of fig and the saltiness of the cheese.

The Southwestern
Spicy inspiration is signature to the South. Topped with green chilies, bacon, avocado, and crispy onion rings, this burger has a punch you won't be able to kick. What pairs best with spicy? Tequila! We recommend pairing this burger with a tequila sunrise. Compared to the more popular margarita, this colorful cocktail has a sweetness to it which pairs wonderfully with the spiciness of the South.

Swiss and Mushroom
Be right back, drooling over all the wonderful images; heaps of mushrooms, atop premium meat, smothered in gooey Swiss cheese. Yum! This simple masterpiece is usually flaunting caramelized onions which can make the overall flavor of the burger very sweet. Expert wine enthusiasts suggest a nice acidic wine be paired. The contrast will elevate your mood and eating experience. Don't forget about our wine tumblers, they'll tie it all together with vibrant color.

The Cowboy
Drinking with a cowboy? What other plans did you have for summer? This loaded burger deserves an equally loaded cocktail. We've paired this bad boy with a blackberry liqueur and moonshine beverage, fittingly named, the black eye. Check out the full recipe on Greg May's blog, Simple Cocktails.
