This month we're taking it back to basics - with a spooky twist of course.
Many people think that hosting requires lots of work, time, and effort, but it doesn't have to be like that. The trick is to start small, get comfortable, and then slowly add elements as you become more at ease with hosting.
Casual or impromptu get-togethers account for most of the entertaining we do, and often they are just as appreciated by our guests as a five-course meal. We don't let a hectic schedule keep us from indulging in our love for gathering together friends and family-and neither should you!
Known in some quarters as a cinq à sept in homage to the typical cocktail hours of 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm in France, a cocktail party is a fun and simple way of socializing without the pressure of preparing a full dinner. As such, it's especially well-suited to those who may be new to entertaining or aren't yet ready to pull out all the stops. For us, cocktail parties often make for our most memorable evenings, with lots of laughter and great conversation, since they let you mingle with different people throughout the evening, instead of only chatting with the people sitting near you at the table.
One of the best things about a cocktail party is that you can adjust your menu based on how many people you're accommodating. And of course, we're adjusting this month's cocktail party to suit a Halloween themed atmosphere!
Let's start things off with one of favourite fridge-space saving tips! It's as easy as it looks: ice + sink + bottles of your favourites beverages! The final spooky touch is up to you 💀
