As you probably already know, I literally fell in love with Atypique sparkling drinks. Low in sugar, tasty like heaven and alcohol free! To impress them, I decided to create a mojito-style marinade for these grilled chicken thighs !!! Watch out life!

Ingredients
- 700 g boneless and skinless chicken thighs
- 1 cup Atypique mojito drink

Preparation
- Place the chicken in a large airtight bag and set aside.
- Pour the rest of the ingredients into a high-rimmed dish, generously season with salt and pepper and blend using a mixing arm. Pour half the marinade over the chicken, toss and seal the bag, removing as much air as possible. Reserve in the fridge for 3 hours. Reserve the rest of the marinade in the fridge as well.
- Preheat the BBQ to maximum power and reduce to medium power. Oil the grills.
- Drain the chicken and place on the grills, making sure the thighs are fully unfolded. Cook 10 to 12 minutes or until the meat is cooked, basting generously with the fresh marinade. Turn halfway through cooking. Cut into slices and serve immediately!

Hugel Riesling 2022
Alsace, France
The Hugel Riesling is a fruity, lively white from Alsace with the lime and citrus side Riesling often has, which is exactly what the lime in the marinade asks for. It follows the fresh mint without drowning it, and its freshness balances the brown sugar caramelizing on the grilled chicken. Serve it ice cold, out on the patio!

A spruce tip beer with mojito chicken seems far-fetched until the first sip. The spruce is fresh and resinous, like the mint, and the citric acidity of the beer meets the lime in the marinade. Squeeze a lime wedge at the table and the pairing closes up.
