When it is about throwing celebrations, people often split into a pair of rather different categories: people that love doing it, and the ones that would choose to do virtually another thing. Being ready early is essential, and choosing a few delicious creations to kick off the evening will entertain your visitors while you try to hold everything together.

These citrusy, spicy nibbles make for a perfect match for the refreshing pink grapefruit mocktails detailed further down.
Salmon & Ricotta on Buckwheat Blinis
A scrumptious festive starter that can easily be altered to serve with a fruity topping for younger guests.
Pink Grapefruit, Cardamom and Lime Mocktails
These drinks are a zesty substitute to spirits, but also make a tasty base for a tequila-based cocktail.

Home-infused spirit for a special celebration drink, ideal for giving as a present or pouring at events.
