Countdown to 2026: Your Festive Menu.
When it involves throwing celebrations, guests usually split into a pair of rather separate camps: those who love doing it, and those who would choose to do virtually anything else. Getting organized ahead of time is key, and choosing a few scrumptious dishes to start the proceedings will entertain your guests while you try to hold everything together.
Spicy Almonds with Fennel, Lemon & Paprika
These zesty, spicy nibbles make for a perfect companion for the vibrant pink grapefruit mocktails featured below.
Salmon & Ricotta on Buckwheat Blinis
A scrumptious festive first course that can easily be modified to offer with a fruity garnish for younger guests.
Cardamom-Lime Grapefruit Mocktails
These concoctions are a refreshing substitute to spirits, but furthermore create a tasty ingredient for a tequila-based cocktail.
Festive Martinis with Juniper & Lemon
Home-infused gin for a unique celebration drink, perfect for giving as a present or serving at events.
Shredded Lamb Shoulder with Sumac Onion Salad
Bask in the glory of this show-stopping centerpiece – everyone will possibly realize how modest effort was needed.
Spiced Cranberry and Chocolate Tart
In this rich finale, puddles of spiced cranberry sauce are cooked into a dark chocolate frangipane for a combination that uses any abundance of berries to good effect.
