Sweater Weather Drink Pairings


Popcorn + cozy drinks = the ultimate fall vibe.

When the air turns crisp and the sweaters come out, there’s only one thing better than cozying up on the couch: cozying up with popcorn and a warm drink in hand. We gave our favorite Opopop flavors the full sweater-weather treatment by pairing them with fall’s best sips. Here’s how to mix, sip, and munch your way into peak autumn comfort.

Super Butter + Hot Honey Latte

Why it works: Buttery popcorn deserves a creamy, cozy companion. A latte with honey brings out the richness, while a touch of chili keeps things lively.

Ingredients (1 serving):

  • 1 shot espresso (or ½ cup strong coffee)

  • ¾ cup steamed milk (any variety)

  • 1 tbsp honey

  • Pinch of chili flakes (optional, for heat)

Instructions:

  1. Brew espresso or coffee and pour into a mug.

  2. Stir in honey until melted.

  3. Top with steamed milk.

  4. Sprinkle a tiny pinch of chili flakes on top.

  5. Snack handfuls of Super Butter popcorn between sips.

Salty Caramel + Spiked Apple Cider

Why it works: Caramel + apple = fall flavor perfection. A touch of bourbon deepens the richness, while the sea salt in the popcorn balances every sip.

Ingredients (1 serving):

  • 1 cup apple cider

  • 1 shot bourbon (optional)

  • 1 cinnamon stick

  • 1 slice of orange

  • Pinch of ground cloves or nutmeg

Instructions:

  1. Warm apple cider in a saucepan with cinnamon, orange, and spices (don’t boil).

  2. Pour into a mug and stir in bourbon if using.

  3. Garnish with the orange slice.

  4. Pair with a big bowl of Salty Caramel popcorn- it’s basically autumn in stereo.

 

Maui Heat + Smoky Maple Old Fashioned

Why it works: Maui Heat is sweet and fiery, so it deserves a drink that’s bold enough to match. The smoky cinnamon and maple bring cozy fall depth, while bourbon brings the backbone.

Ingredients (1 serving):

  • 2 oz bourbon

  • ½ oz maple syrup

  • 2 dashes Angostura bitters

  • 1 dash smoked cinnamon (or regular cinnamon with a whiff of smoke, if you have it)

  • Ice

  • Orange peel for garnish

Instructions:

  1. In a mixing glass, combine bourbon, maple syrup, bitters, and cinnamon.

  2. Stir with ice until well chilled.

  3. Strain into a rocks glass over a large ice cube.

  4. Garnish with an orange peel twist.

  5. Sip slowly while snacking on Maui Heat- the sweet-spicy kernels dance perfectly with each smoky sip.

Your favorite Opopop flavors are ready for their fall moment. Just add your mug, your coziest blanket, and maybe a scary movie or two.
