For those with a sweeter tooth, our Honey Roasted Macadamias are a dream come true. The luscious honey coating adds a golden sweetness to the naturally buttery nut. Pair these with a refreshing Gin and Tonic or a Vodka Soda. The sweetness of the nuts balances the bitter notes in the gin, while the carbonation cleanses the palate, preparing you for the next bite.
Wasabi Macadamias and Bubbles: Spice Meets Sparkle
Looking for a kick? Our Wasabi Macadamias deliver a bold, spicy punch that’s perfectly tempered by a glass of bubbly. The spritz of champagne or sparkling wine helps cool the heat from the wasabi, while the nuts’ creaminess complements the wine’s crispness. It’s a pairing that’s sure to spark conversation at your holiday gathering.
Chilli Lime Macadamias and Margarita: Zesty Celebration
Our Chilli Lime Macadamias are a flavour explosion. The zesty blend of chilli and lime creates a tangy, spicy coating that’s irresistible.

Hickory Macadamias and Boozy Cocktails: Smoky Sophistication
Our Hickory Macadamias bring a smoky, savory note to the party. The rich, woody flavor of these nuts pairs beautifully with a classic Martini or a Negroni. The complex botanicals in these cocktails complement the smokey notes of the nuts, creating a sophisticated flavour combination that’s perfect for a summer evening.
Dry Roasted Macadamia Nuts with Whiskey and Soda: A Refreshing Twist
For a delightful summer pairing, try our Dry Roasted Macadamia Nuts with a classic Whiskey and Soda. This combination offers a refreshing contrast that’s perfect for warm evenings.
The rich, buttery flavor of our dry roasted macadamia nuts complements the smooth, complex notes of a good whiskey. Mixed with soda, the whiskey’s sharp edges are softened, creating a light, effervescent drink that pairs beautifully with the nuts’ creamy texture. This pairing allows you to fully appreciate both the nuanced taste of the whiskey and the natural richness of the macadamias.
For an alternative option, try pairing our Dry Roasted Macadamia Nuts with Bourbon and Dry Ginger. The spicy notes of the ginger ale complement the bourbon’s sweetness, creating a zesty backdrop for the smooth, buttery macadamias. The bourbon’s caramel and vanilla notes harmonize with the nuts’ roasted flavor, while the dry ginger adds a refreshing kick.
Whatever drinks you choose to pair, all our delicious macadamia nut varieties provide the perfect savory companion to these classic summer cocktails. Enjoy responsibly and savor the complex interplay of flavors in this sophisticated pairing.
Remember, while our macadamias are packed with health benefits, they’re also calorie-dense. Enjoy them in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
