The Ultimate Rebel Rabbit Holiday Pairing Guide

Pierce Wylie

Let’s be honest, holiday meals are a whole event. You’ve got Aunt Linda’s “famous” green bean casserole, three kinds of stuffing, and more sugar than a grocery store aisle. What’s missing is a drink that matches the moment without leaving you foggy the next day.

We’ve mapped out the best buzz for every dish, vibe, and holiday hang, from Friendsgiving grazing boards to pie-fueled couch comas. Whether you’re serving Mild Hare, Wild Hare, or the stronger Wilder or Spirit bottle, here’s your cheat sheet to a perfectly paired celebration.

 

🍋 Lemon-Lime

Perfect with turkey and stuffing.

Crisp, citrusy, and refreshingly clean, this one brings balance to heavier holiday plates. Think of it as your buzzed-up sparkling water that cuts through gravy like a pro.

Pairs best with:

  • Roast turkey
  • Herby stuffing
  • Mashed potatoes
  • Family debates you did not ask for

 

🍊 Mandarin Orange

Pairs beautifully with holiday ham and sweet, spiced sides.

Sweet and sunny with a citrus twist, this one shines next to glazed meats and anything cinnamon-dusted. It is basically your flavor bridge between savory and sweet.

Pairs best with:

  • Honey-glazed ham
  • Sweet potato casserole
  • Roasted carrots
  • Your aunt, who always brings fire desserts

 

🍇 Blackberry Lemonade (with or without caffeine)

A bold, vibrant match for dessert or late-night leftovers.

This is your post-dinner power move. Jammy and rich, it stands up to chocolate, pie, and your second helping of stuffing at midnight.

Pairs best with:

  • Pumpkin or pecan pie
  • Chocolate desserts
  • Leftover plates at 11 PM
  • Deep couch mode

 

🍊 Grapefruit

Your brunch and bubbly swap. Light, tart, and endlessly sippable.

Tart and zesty with a dry finish, this is your go-to for holiday brunches, daytime hangs, or any moment you want something lighter that still hits.

Pairs best with:

  • Brunch spreads
  • Fruit salad
  • Smoked salmon with bagels
  • Sassy group texts

 

🍑 High Spirit: Passion Fruit with Hibiscus (170 mg bottle)

The pour-over-ice holiday hero.

With tropical brightness and a touch of floral depth, this one is made for anyone skipping the booze without skipping the celebration. Drink it straight, pour it over ice, or mix it into your mocktails. It is bold, versatile, and perfect for sharing.

Pairs best with:

  • Any dish on the table
  • Holiday playlists on loop
  • Kitchen dance breaks
  • Celebrating your chill
