In Craft Gin Club’s November 2022 Gin of the Month box, we sent Craft Gin Club members delicious Kallo Beetroot & Balsamic Veggie Rice Cakes.

Kallo Veggie Cakes are crunchy and moreish (and healthier than a bag of crisps!), and they both go so well with a good gin cocktail or two, especially when adorned with some fabulous toppings. But which of these Veggie Cakes and toppings go with which cocktails? Allow us to answer with these two fabulous Kallo Veggie Cake and cocktail pairings! 

But first, for those unlucky few that are not Craft Gin Clubbers, or who have not tried Kallo Veggie Cakes yet, we should start by talking about what makes them so special.

Kallo is all about creating super-tasty, healthy snacks that help you eat sensibly without missing out on flavour. That means they keep things as natural as possible, with no artificial additives, flavourings or colours, just real food and real flavours.

The Great Taste Award-winning Veggie Cakes that we sent to members to enjoy with their gin are no different. Made with lentils and peas, they are oh-so-satisfying while being only 40 calories per cake. 

So what cocktail and topping should we pair with Kallo Beetroot & Balsamic Veggie Cakes? Take a look…

With Kallo Veggie Cakes Beetroot & Balsamic, we recommend enjoying…a classic Negroni!

Kallo Veggie Cakes Beetroot & Balsamic

Kallo recommends topping their Beetroot & Balsamic veggie cakes with cream cheese, red onion chutney, rocket leaves and walnuts - yum! You can find the full recipe here.

We think those tangy balsamic and cheese tones, and those sweet onion and earthy beetroot notes, go so well with the wonderfully rich, sweet-tart and warm citrus flavours of gin, Campari and sweet vermouth that can be found in a Negroni. Find our perfect Negroni recipe at this link!

The orange garnish also works in scrumptious contrast to the peppery rocket leaves.

This duo is a match made in heaven!

If you like that pairing then you need to try Kallo Veggie Cakes Caramelised Onion with a classic Breakfast Martini!

Kallo Veggie Cakes Caramelised Onion

We absolutely adore Kallo’s suggestion to top their Caramelised Onion veggie cakes with avocado, chilli flakes, balsamic glaze and mixed seeds. It makes for such a great breakfast or brunch dish, and we love to enjoy it at any other time of the day too. Find the full recipe here!

A Gin Screwball (just gin and orange juice) would be great with these veggie cakes, but we want to take it up a notch by pairing them with a Breakfast Martini! This mix of gin, marmalade and triple sec is full of delectably bitter-sweet orange citrus tones that work great with the rich avocado and warm chilli flakes. Get our full Breakfast Martini recipe at this link!
