MIXOLOGIST JIM MEEHAN'S COCKTAIL PARTY TIPS (From Food and Wine )
-
HOW MANY HORS D'OEUVRES DO I SERVE FOR A COCKTAIL PARTY?
- Count six hors d'oeuvres per person, per hour.
-
HOW SHOULD I PLAN THE MENU?
- Balance between hot and cold, rich and light. Be sure to provide at least one vegetarian offering. And always choose a few make-ahead dishes so there's less to do on the day of the party.
-
HOW MUCH WINE DO I NEED FOR A COCKTAIL PARTY?
- The rule of thumb is three glasses per person. So for a cocktail party of 20 people, that means 12 bottles.
