At any holiday party, guests should eat, drink, and be merry! But how do you make that happen at your own holiday party? That’s easy; offer seasonal cocktail and food pairings that will wow your guests’ tastebuds together.
How to Perfectly Pair Sips & Apps
Choosing cocktails and appetizers that pair perfectly together is easier than you may think. For starters, pick flavors and mouthfeels that complement or contrast each other. If you’re going to serve a heavy, cheese pasta dish, go with something that’s light and bubbly like a French 75. Considering something spicier? Then, serve something that will cool you down like a Frozen Strawberry Daiquiri.
