Ways to Offer Cheerwine in Your Restaurant
2017 marks 100 years of the legendary taste of the soft drink Cheerwine. You don't get to 100 years old in a competitive beverage industry without the consistency of taste and delighting new and existing consumer's year after year. Part of that delightful consistency is the multiple ways Cheerwine can be enjoyed. Here's three key ways you too can share Cheerwine with your guests:
Cheerwine as a beverage: Barbecue restaurants all over the country that serve Cheerwine fountain find that it is usually the #1 or #2 selling carbonated soft drink. Serving Cheerwine in the iconic glass bottle is a guaranteed way to deliver your consumers the message of authenticity. What might surprise you is that Cheerwine is also a great cocktail mixer!
Cheerwine as an ingredient: Consumers and restaurants love using Cheerwine in their recipes. It's been a very popular ingredient in barbecue sauces (both from a reduction or straight syrup), but also used in cakes and pies, and frozen desserts.
Cheerwine and Ice Cream: Ice Cream Floats are more popular than ever, and you will find Cheerwine Floats on menus throughout the south! Speaking of ice cream, we are even seeing more and more restaurants using the Cheerwine syrup as an ice cream topping and to make Cheerwine shakes. Two ingredients you may already have in stock, but a new line of revenue for you, and a new treat for your customers!
One brand. Many delightful ways to serve!

A silly sausage thought it would be a good idea to rob a German discounter with a barbeque implement. It was all going well until an employee got all up in his grill.
Grilling chicken is just as easy as roasting, but you'll get great barbecue flavor without the hassle of having to stand at the grill turning drumsticks and breasts to keep them from burning. Expand your grilling repertoire and impress your guests by learning how to grill a whole chicken.
WASHINGTON POST
Are you ready to start grilling? Here are some delicious reds for those steaks and burgers, and a couple of fine rosés to sip while the coals get hot or with your grilled salmon.
THE SPRUCE
Getting an authentic barbecue flavor when cooking ribs on a gas grill can be a challenge. Gas grills are great for hot and fast cooking, but not so efficient when you need to turn a rack of ribs into tender, smoky barbecue.
