Celebration to the Next Year: The New Year's Eve Menu.
When it comes to organizing gatherings, people tend to separate into two rather different groups: people that enjoy it, and those who would choose to do practically another thing. Being organized ahead of time is key, and selecting a few scrumptious dishes to kick off the proceedings will entertain your visitors while you work to keep the show on the road.
Citrusy Smoked Paprika Almonds with Fennel
These zesty, spicy nibbles are a perfect pairing for the refreshing pink grapefruit mocktails detailed below.
Savory Blinis Topped with Salmon and Ricotta
A delicious festive first course that can readily be adapted to offer with a sweet garnish for younger guests.
Refreshing Grapefruit Mocktails with Cardamom & Lime
These concoctions are a invigorating alternative to alcohol, but also make a delicious base for a gin-based cocktail.
