I know what goes good with Everclear, and it’s not what you think.

Most people think that Everclear is only good for getting drunk quickly. Or, as the 90’s band Everclear sang, “It’s like gasoline / I’m trying to drown out the noise.” But what if I told you that Everclear can be used for more than just getting trashed?

After all, it is said that “The most important rule for drinking Everclear is this: never drink it straight…”

This means that if you do not get your pairing right, it may wreak havoc on your taste buds (and your head the next morning). And if your head hurts the next day, you may not go to work. And if you don’t go to work, you may get fired.

Maybe that’s extreme. But you get my point.

In this article, I will share with you what goes well with Everclear, so you can avoid a hangover and enjoy your night.

What Goes Good With Everclear

  1. Grenadine
  2. Coffee
  3. Dr. Pepper
  4. Kool-Aid

  6. Gatorade
  7. Lemonade
  8. Lemon-lime Soda
  9. Rootbeer

Grenadine

Grenadine is a great way to add some sweetness to your drink without making it too sugary. Everclear can be a bit harsh, so the grenadine will help to smooth it out.

What’s more? This drink can be made at home though it is also available at many bars. Just ask for grenadine and everclear and you’re good to go!

When pairing this drink with Everclear, be sure to remember to tailor the recipe to your own taste and tolerance. Let the mixture sit for a few moments to allow the flavors to meld before taking your first sip.

Coffee

Coffee is another drink that can be paired with Everclear.

Don’t take my word for it. According to Coffee Affection, Everclear is a great boozy basis for Norwegian coffee, a powerful brew that will certainly get you out of bed in the morning.

This combination is also known as “Karsk,” or “coffee with Everclear,” which is said to compete with Irish Coffee any day of the week.

Coffee and Everclear is a great combination because the coffee will help to mask the harshness of the alcohol. Plus, it’s a great way to get a buzz going first thing in the morning.

To make this pairing, simply add Everclear to your cup of coffee. Start with a small amount and add more to taste. Remember, you can always add more but you can’t take it away.
