Celebration to the New Year: The Festive Spread.
When it comes to organizing parties, guests usually divide into a couple of very distinct groups: people that enjoy the process, and those who would prefer to do almost another thing. Being ready ahead of time is key, and choosing a few scrumptious creations to begin the evening will entertain your guests while you work to manage everything.

These zesty, spicy bites are a perfect companion for the bright pink grapefruit mocktails featured next.
Salmon & Ricotta on Buckwheat Blinis
A scrumptious celebration starter that can easily be altered to serve with a sweet spread for younger guests.
Cardamom-Lime Grapefruit Mocktails
These beverages are a invigorating alternative to alcohol, but furthermore make a wonderful mixer for a tequila-based drink.

Handcrafted spirit for a particularly festive holiday martini, great for giving as a present or offering at gatherings.
