Montucky Cold Snack Recipe

Chill beer

Place 4 bottles of Montucky Cold Snacks (or another light lager) in the refrigerator or an ice bucket to chill for at least 30 minutes so they're cold when served.

Cut and arrange components

Cube the cheddar into 1/2-inch pieces. Thinly slice the smoked sausage and tear the beef jerky into bite-sized pieces. Quarter the dill pickles and drain the pickled peppers. Measure out chips and place mustard and honey together in a small dish for serving.

Create a snack board or platter

On a medium serving board or platter, arrange the cubed cheddar, sliced smoked sausage, torn beef jerky, and corn chips in separate clusters so guests can pick and choose. Place the quartered dill pickles and pickled peppers in small piles or ramekins.

Add mustard & optional glaze

Stir the honey into the mustard if you want a slightly sweet glaze; leave plain if you prefer. Put the mustard (or mustard-honey) in a small bowl on the board for dipping the cheese, sausage, and pickles.

Season

Lightly sprinkle the coarse sea salt and cracked black pepper over the cheese and chips (avoid oversalting the jerky). Scatter the chopped parsley over the cheese and sausage for a fresh note.

Bring the chilled beers to the table in their bottles or in an ice bucket. Invite guests to build bites of cheese, sausage, and jerky, using chips or pickles as a crunchy vessel. Refill components as needed. Estimated to serve 4 people as a light snack.
