Easter is a time for gathering, sharing meals, and celebrating tradition. While food often takes centre stage, the right drinks can elevate your Easter table and create an even more memorable experience.
At Delícias UK, we proudly bring Portuguese and Brazilian flavours to homes across the UK, while embracing the diversity of tastes that make the British food scene so special. Whether you’re serving roast lamb, bacalhau, or sweet Easter treats, here’s how to choose the perfect drinks to pair with your celebration.
Perfect Wines for Roast Lamb
Roast lamb is a classic Easter favourite in many cultures. Its rich, savoury flavour pairs beautifully with medium to full-bodied red wines.
Great options include:
Portuguese Douro or Alentejo red wines
These wines complement the tenderness of the lamb while balancing herbs like rosemary and garlic.
What to Pair with Bacalhau and Seafood
If your Easter table includes bacalhau or other seafood dishes (a tradition in many Portuguese and Brazilian households, especially on Good Friday), lighter wines are the perfect match.
Try:
Portuguese white wines from Dão or Alentejo
These wines enhance the delicate flavours of cod and seafood without overpowering them.
Drinks for Easter Ham and Savoury Pies
Glazed ham and savoury pies, such as Brazilian-style chicken pie (empadão), work well with both red and white wines depending on the seasoning.
For a more relaxed gathering, sparkling wine also pairs wonderfully and adds a festive touch.
Sparkling Wines for Celebration
Easter is a celebration of renewal and joy — making sparkling wine a perfect choice.
Serve chilled as a welcome drink or alongside lighter dishes and desserts.
Sweet Pairings for Easter Desserts
Traditional sweets such as Folar da Páscoa, Colomba Pascal, chocolate eggs, or Brazilian brigadeiros call for something equally delightful.
Consider:
Port wine (especially with chocolate)
Sweet sparkling wine
Dessert wines
Coffee is also an essential part of Portuguese and Brazilian celebrations — perfect for ending your Easter meal on a warm note.
Non-Alcoholic Options for Everyone
To make your Easter table inclusive for all guests, consider refreshing alcohol-free options:
Fresh fruit juices (orange, passion fruit, mango)
Lemonade with fresh mint
Iced tea
These drinks add colour and flavour while ensuring everyone can join the celebration.
Bringing Flavours Together This Easter
Easter in the UK beautifully reflects a blend of cultures and traditions. Your table might include roast lamb alongside bacalhau, hot cross buns next to folar, and a mix of Portuguese, Brazilian, and British influences.
At Delícias UK, we’re proud to support these traditions by offering authentic products that help you recreate the flavours of home — while welcoming everyone to explore something new.
Whatever you’re serving this Easter, the right drink can bring harmony to your table and make every toast even more special.
Wishing you a joyful and flavour-filled Easter from all of us at Delícias UK.
