What would be a good translation of "to go well with"?

Question

How could one translate the expression "to go well with" in Spanish?

For example:

Tequila shots go well with strawberry ice cream.

In Spain se use:

"pegar con" -> Ese gorro no te pega con la blusa.
"ir bien con" -> Ese vino va bien con el solomillo de ternera.

For food and drinks I'd use the second option better, which is a literal translation of "to go well".

"Combina bien" is also a choice.

@kelmer: Yes. It sounds a bit less coloquial, though.

Yet another one! (which I use specially with drinks): "mezcla bien" (literally, "mixes well")

And in the context of colors one would say (in the sense of matching) "hacer juego con ..."; e.g. "Esta blausa hace juego con mis zapatos."
