Appetisers for Dinner Party: Practical Hosting Advice
The appetisers for your dinner party will set the tone. Here are a few practical tips to make it a breeze:
Calculating Quantities: Aim for 6-8 pieces per person per hour, adjusting based on party length and whether you are serving a full meal afterwards.
Embrace the Make-Ahead: Reduce stress by preparing some appetisers in advance. Choose recipes that can be reheated or easily assembled right before serving.
Dip into Deliciousness: A well-chosen dip selection is always a crowd-pleaser! Offer a variety of flavours and textures, like creamy guacamole, savoury spinach and artichoke dip, or a classic pesto dip. Don't forget an assortment of fresh raw vegetables, fruit, and crackers for dipping.
Finally, Don't Forget the Drinks!
Elevate your party snacks spread with a well-curated selection of mocktails that complement the flavours and enhance the overall experience.
Think Thematically: Just like your appetisers, your mocktails can reflect the party's theme. Hosting a tropical getaway? Fruity mocktails with pineapple, mango, or coconut are a must!
Perfect Pairings: Impress your guests with handcrafted mocktails that add a touch of sophistication and elevate your culinary creations. A refreshing citrus spritz pairs perfectly with lighter bites, while a fruity mint cooler with fresh lime complements spicy or savoury flavours.
Mocktail Mixes: Offer a range of non-alcoholic options beyond basic soda and juice. Try one of our flavourful mocktail medley suggestions below:
- Sparkling Cranberry Ginger: Muddle fresh cranberries and ginger, add a squeeze of lime, and top with sparkling water for a festive and refreshing drink.
- Rosemary Grapefruit Spritzer: Combine grapefruit juice, a sprig of rosemary, and a splash of agave; top with sparkling water for a sophisticated, herbal delight.
- Passionfruit & Pink Peppercorn Fizz: Muddle fresh passionfruit pulp with a pinch of pink peppercorns and a touch of agave syrup. Top with sparkling water and garnish with half of a passionfruit.
