Although the kitchen is a perfect location for this, it's more fun to find your bar in the main reception room. Here are some pointers to bear in mind when hosting a cocktail party.<br /><br />1) Be sure you have several cocktail shakers. Possess a large jug and tall mixing stick in making thirst-quenching cocktails.<br /><br />2) Lay out different size and shapes of glasses on separate trays ready for several strengths of mixes. Offer mineral water, fruit juices and non-alcoholic alternatives over a separate table.<br /><br />3) Place large bowls of snacks across the room, and make sure there are lots of canapes, or tiny sandwiches, and finger food including mini quiches and rolls pate.<br /><br />When you are planning to give a morning cocktail party that your guests could be going on somewhere for lunch or shopping, in that case your cocktails needs to be light in flavour and not too alcoholic.

It's good to offer a smaller selection of well prepared canapes and snacks rather than to have a blend of various types. Several cold canapes then one hot is usually sufficient for almost any cocktail party and can be quite enough for you to cope with, unless you are fortunate enough to have the ability to enlist the aid of a friend or two to assist you in your efforts. Rather than canapes, perhaps you could experiment with some of your own personal favourite foods. Rolls of smoke salmon full of creamed avocado pear and stilton, broiled scallops en brochette - this list of possibilities is endless and mouth-watering, and lots of recipes books are for sale to provide you with ideas.' |
