Festive Cocktails & Canapes

Just in time for the holidays, Festive Cocktails & Canapés will give party enthusiasts some fun, new ideas. The book has over one hundred recipes that will delight your guests on any special occasion. Drinks vary from the classic Old Fashioned to the Vanilla White Lady (a twist on the white lady gin and Cointreau cocktail) to a Rose & Pomegranate Cosmo. I loved the beautiful color photos that accompanied each drink recipe. They’re each so pretty and unique that you’ll want to try each and every one. The book is organized into the following categories: Bar Cart Classics, Sparklers & Aperitifs, Party Drinks, Dessert Cocktails & Nightcaps, and Canapés & Small Bites. The last section is full of fun and tasty finger foods. The recipe for Smoked Salmon Mousse Croustades, a smoked salmon mousse on a crisp croustard, is one that I will definitely be trying this holiday season. The Grilled Lamb Skewers with Garlic & Saffron Custard sounds delectable, and the Mini Cherry Coconut Macaroons are perfect for that sweet finish.

I love that this book has recipes that do not have a long list of ingredients. The recipes are simple, but the results are beautiful drinks and appealing small bites.
