Countdown to the Next Year: A Festive Menu.
When it is about throwing gatherings, guests tend to separate into two rather different groups: people that enjoy doing it, and the ones that would rather to do almost anything else. Being ready ahead of time is key, and finding a few scrumptious creations to kick off the festivities will amuse your attendees while you try to keep the show on the road.
Fennel, Lemon and Smoked Paprika Almonds
These tangy, spiced nibbles prove to be a excellent companion for the vibrant pink grapefruit mocktails detailed below.
Buckwheat Blinis with Ricotta and Salmon
A delicious holiday appetizer that can conveniently be adapted to present with a fruity topping for the kids.
Pink Grapefruit, Cardamom and Lime Mocktails
These beverages are a invigorating substitute to alcohol, but furthermore make a tasty ingredient for a tequila-based beverage.
