Countdown to the New Year: Your Holiday Menu.
When it involves organizing celebrations, guests usually separate into a couple of rather separate groups: people that love the process, and people that would rather to do almost another thing. Staying prepared in advance is key, and selecting a few tasty creations to begin the evening will amuse your attendees while you work to manage everything.
Spicy Almonds with Fennel, Lemon & Paprika
These citrusy, flavorful snacks make for a ideal pairing for the bright pink grapefruit mocktails featured next.
Savory Blinis Topped with Salmon and Ricotta
A delicious holiday starter that can conveniently be altered to present with a different spread for younger guests.
Pink Grapefruit, Cardamom and Lime Mocktails
These beverages are a refreshing alternative to booze, but also create a tasty mixer for a tequila-based cocktail.
