Perfect Pairings: Wine, Cocktails, and the Tapas They Love

At Mosaic, pairing food and drink isn’t just a suggestion—it’s an art form. Our globally inspired menu of small plates offers a vibrant playground for pairing bold bites with beautifully crafted beverages. Whether you're sipping a Spanish red or savoring a tropical cocktail, the right pairing elevates every flavor and makes your dining experience unforgettable.


Here’s how to find the perfect match between your glass and your plate.


🍷 Wines That Wander the World

Our wine list takes you on a tour of vineyards across continents—from the rolling hills of Spain to the coastlines of South America. These are some of our go-to pairings:


Tempranillo + Lamb Meatballs Spain’s bold red grape meets its match with Mosaic’s Moroccan-spiced lamb. The wine’s earthy depth brings out the smoky, savory richness of the dish.


Sauvignon Blanc + Shrimp Skewers Crisp, citrusy, and refreshing, a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc is the perfect partner to our lightly charred, herb-marinated shrimp.


Malbec + Chorizo-Stuffed Dates This Argentine red brings juicy depth and a touch of spice that balances the sweet-salty richness of our stuffed Medjool dates.


Rosé + Hummus Platter A dry rosé from Provence complements the bright Mediterranean flavors of housemade hummus, olives, and grilled pita with elegant ease.


🍸 Craft Cocktails That Speak the Language of Tapas

Our bartenders infuse global flavors into signature drinks designed to dazzle your palate—and enhance your plate.


Cucumber-Mint Gin Cocktail + Thai Chicken Satay Cool and herbal meets warm and spiced. This light, crisp cocktail soothes the heat and heightens the ginger-peanut glaze.


Smoked Mezcal Margarita + Achiote Pork Sliders The smoky depth of mezcal paired with tangy citrus cuts through the rich, savory sliders for a pairing with bold personality.


Pineapple-Ginger Mojito + Korean BBQ Cauliflower Sweet, spicy, and refreshing, this island-inspired mojito brings out the umami and caramelized edges of our craveable cauliflower dish.


Elderflower Spritz + Falafel Bowl Light and floral with a hint of sparkle, this bubbly spritz complements the earthy spices of falafel and bright lemony tahini sauce.


🧑‍🍳 How to Build Your Own Pairing

  • Go regional. Pair a dish and drink from the same corner of the world—they’re often made to go together.

  • Balance intensity. Match bold with bold and light with light. A delicate dish may be overwhelmed by a heavy red.

  • Use contrast. Sometimes opposites attract—acidic drinks cut through rich foods, while sweet cocktails calm spicy heat.


🌟 Let Us Be Your Guide

Not sure what to order? Our servers are happy to suggest thoughtful pairings tailored to your tastes. Whether you’re new to tapas or a seasoned sipper, Mosaic’s pairing experience is all about discovery—and delicious surprises.
