There’s something delightful about finding the right drink to bring out the best in your favourite candy. Whether you’re lounging by the pool, unwinding by the campfire, or settling in with a good book, the perfect pairing can turn a simple treat into a little moment of indulgence.
Inspired by some of our favourite Waterbridge sweets, here are a few candy and drink combinations worth trying.
🌞 Poolside Pick
Waterbridge Just Taffy + Fresh Lemonade
Nothing says summer quite like saltwater taffy. Its soft, chewy texture and fruity flavours pair perfectly with a cold glass of fresh lemonade or sweet iced tea. The bright citrus flavours refresh your palate while complementing the taffy's sweetness, making this an ideal pairing for warm afternoons by the pool or at the beach.
🔥 Fireside Favourite
Waterbridge Belgian Milk Chocolate Caramel Sea Salt Bar + Coffee or Hot Chocolate
Whether you're gathered around a fire pit or enjoying a quiet evening on the patio, rich Belgian milk chocolate with caramel and sea salt pairs well with a comforting drink. A smooth coffee, creamy hot chocolate, or even a mocha balances the sweetness while bringing out the caramel notes. For those who enjoy cocktails, an espresso martini or whisky also pairs beautifully with this chocolate bar.
☕ Afternoon Coffee Break
Waterbridge Cookie Barrel Wafers + Earl Grey Tea or Vanilla Latte
Light, crisp wafer cookies are perfect for an afternoon pick-me-up. Their delicate texture pairs wonderfully with aromatic teas like Earl Grey or Chai, while a vanilla latte or caramel macchiato creates an indulgent café-style treat right at home.
🍋 Summer Refreshment
Waterbridge Gourmet Sour Jelly Beans + Sparkling Lemon Water
Love a little sour? Pair these vibrant jelly beans with sparkling lemon water or citrus-infused sparkling water. The bubbles help cleanse your palate while allowing each fruity flavour to shine. If you're looking for something sweeter, classic lemonade also makes a refreshing companion.
🌙 After Dinner Treat
Waterbridge Allsorts + Black Coffee or Peppermint Tea
Licorice lovers know that Allsorts offer a unique blend of flavours and textures. Pair them with a bold black coffee for a classic combination or enjoy them alongside peppermint tea for a refreshing finish that complements the licorice without overpowering it.
