The Food Rules of Your Cocktail Party
When you host a cocktail party it is a very entertaining way to have so great time with your family and friends. Guests will like that fact of you serving some appetizers with the alcohol that you will be serving. As you are thinking about what to serve you should also think about how many people so you can have an idea on how much food you will need. For cocktail food, usually six bites every hour per person. But it would be better if you calculate a bit more then that, depending on the guests.
Food that is great for your cocktail party would be mostly finger foods. No big clean ups, and they can be prepared before everything gets started.
Your guests would like to have a napkin or even a small paper plate will due. This way they can mingle while they snack. And still not much clean up involved. More information about me.
Appetizers as a rule are small in portion usually bite size. Good ideas would be mini cheesecakes, sausage rolls, dipped strawberries in chocolate are all great cocktail party foods. Pair up smoked salmon or caviar with martinis. Or you may choose to go simply with cheese trays paired with wine.
Whatever the cocktail party food of choice you need to be sure that you enjoy yourself at your cocktail party as well. It will not be too entertaining if the host is nowhere to be found, it could in fact make some guests feel uncomfortable. Make sure that you have chosen a food that you are familiar with, and a food that can be made ahead of time. You should not have to slave in the kitchen when you are hosting a fun filled cocktail party. My profile.
