Cocktail Party Tips
Here are some handy tips to make your next cocktail party. Along with a nice variety of hors d’eourves, you need to cover your bases on the drinks.
Ice: You need it for all kinds of purposes, not just in drinks. Plan on 1lb per guest.
Glass with Class: One glass does not fit all. Wine glasses, martini glasses, highballs—each has its own purpose. Also, plan to have two glasses per guest.
Wine: if it’s a wine-only party, you need a bottle for two guests per 2-hour party. Have a mix of red, white, blush, etc.
Coffee: for the end of the party pick-me-up.
Bartender: for 15 or 20 bucks an hour, it’s worth it to free you up to spend time with your guests!

that’s my pet peeve–running out of ice. I hate it. the problem is that I make a bunch, and then it sits, and then it smells funny. What’s that about? Do I need a new ice maker? Any ideas?
