Hosting a cocktail party is a fun way to spend time with your family and friends. But when you serve alcohol your guest are sure to appreciate a few bites of food. When you are deciding what to serve you must think about how many people will be attending, this will give you a good idea of how much food you will be needing. As a rule of thumb, estimate six bites per person for every hour. But it would be better if you calculate a bit more then that, depending on the guests.
Food that is great for your cocktail party would be mostly finger foods. No big clean ups, and they can be prepared before everything gets started.
It is a wise choice to have some napkins or paper plates also. Your guests will have an opportunity to walk around and talk while they snack. And still not much clean up involved.
Appetizers as a rule are small in portion usually bite size. Sausage rolls, mini cheesecakes, chocolate dipped strawberries are all awesome ideas for cocktail party food. Martinis go great with caviar or smokes salmon. Or you may choose to go simply with cheese trays paired with wine.
Whatever the cocktail party food of choice you need to be sure that you enjoy yourself at your cocktail party as well. It will not be too entertaining if the host is nowhere to be found, it could in fact make some guests feel uncomfortable. So be certain that you choose something to serve that you are familiar with, something that you have made before. The last thing that you need to be doing is slave in the kitchen when there is a fabulous cocktail party going on right on the other side of kitchen door.
