Pizza really is the ultimate meal.

It may not seem like there’s any room for improvement when it comes to this cheesy, doughy, versatile treat, but when paired with the right glass of wine, it can hit some seriously delicious new heights.

Pizza and wine go together well, but here you can get into the detail and see which pizza toppings go best with certain types of wine. Dan’s Daily runs through nine of the most popular pizzas and pairs them with everything from chardonnay and riesling to grenache, gamay and more.

Happy World Donut Day! 🍩 We've created the drinkable doughnut – creamy, spiced and oh-so delicious. A cocktail which we're calling the 'Doughnut-ini'

We love an OG cinnamon doughnut, but we also can’t say no to a bit of chocolate or vanilla icing – and here’s the thing, why can’t you have both?

Turns out you absolutely can, because our Doughnut-ini is inspired by both; fluffy in texture, smells like vanilla, and laden with just the right amount of creamy sweetness and aromatic spice. Pure nostalgia.

Want to give our Doughnut-ini a go? Hit the link for the full recipe.

Learn how to make Doughnut-ini, a donut flavoured spiced rum cocktail in 2 simple steps with this Dan's Daily easy recipe. Buy cocktail ingredients like spiced rum, vanilla liqueur, aromatic bitters & more online at Dan Murphy's with doorstep delivery.

Wondering what the best beer and food pairings are? We’re here to help you match your favourite beers to some tip-top meals. We’ll cover brunch, lunch, dinner and dessert.

Calling all Martini fans: this batched version is the ultimate hack. This is the Freezer Door Martini. 🍸

Botanical, herbaceous or citrusy, the beauty of this recipe is your ability to add your own flair. From classic dry and barrel-aged to navy strength or uniquely gin-fused, the gin base is yours to play with until you find your fave. The key is to follow the ratios – 4:1.5:1 (gin to vermouth to water).

Ingredients: for 8 serves
400mL gin
150mL dry vermouth
100mL water (high-quality still mineral works best)
Optional: additional vermouth or brine to serve (see top tips below)
Glass: coupe or Nick and Nora glass
Garnish: whatever you like – e.g. olives, pickled onions, lemon twists, anchovies, etc.

Method:
1. Add all ingredients to a freezer-safe bottle and freeze for a minimum 8 hours or overnight.
2. When ready to serve, pop your glasses into the freezer to chill for 20 minutes.
3. Pour into the frosty glassware directly from the bottle.
4. Garnish with whatever takes your fancy – we're suckers for blue-cheese stuffed olives.
