Just Like that, the holidays are here. Bijouxs Liittle Jewels has got you covered! My best Don’t Break the Bank cocktail party published a while ago. Here we go!
Forget the full bar – keep it simple for guests and yourself by serving a house cocktail. For larger group, consider serving a simple, modern, not so sweet punch, like the Sea of Rubies Punch (recipe tab), or a budget-friendly sparkling wine served with a beautiful zest of orange.
Offer foods that are easy to eat while wielding a drink and remember it’s not dinner. Serve just enough food for guests to enjoy with their cocktails. Easy go-to party favorites Gougères (recipes tab) are a simple savory puff that are versatile and can be made ahead (recipe to follow): an impressive but uncomplicated French pastry. Thin, crunchy, fresh asparagus spears that have been lightly steamed and cooled in an ice bath, are wonderful and beautiful to serve, when dipped in Remoulade Sauce. A few more favorites, add a substantial dip like Roaring Forties Blue Cheese (recipe tab) served with celery spears, or maybe some great mini-sausages from a local deli, grilled (another make ahead) and served with Grey Poupon mustard. There you have it, a classic cocktail faire!
Potato chips and nuts are always party favorites. Purchase them plain and flavor them to create your own house version. Start by heating up thickly sliced kettle chips in the oven (recipe tab). Toss the chips with a simple homemade spice mixture, or flavor them hot out of the oven with your own spice combination like a BBQ dry rub, curry powder mix, or even finely grated Parmesan cheese to create your own homemade Bijouxs. House Flavored Chips (recipe tab) Nuts work well with any custom seasoning and my salt and pepper cashews are an all-time favorite. Take salted cashews and place them on a foil-lined baking sheet. Heat in the oven for 5 – 7 minutes. Toss with freshly cracked black pepper and add salt to taste.
