You want the juiciest, richest, most over the top burger? Hop on 85 North and head to Over The Top Burger Bar in Buford, GA for their OTP Lobster Bomb Burger!
For this burger + cocktail pairing, we knew we just had to incorporate sparkling wine because lobster & bubbly is a win every time. Our French Mojito is a mashup of a French 75 and classic Mojito. The sweetness of the rum plus the freshness of the mint and citrus did a great job of cutting through the rich components of the burger. Top it all off with crisp dry sparkling wine and you’re in paradise.
Whip one up at home and let us know what you think!
