New Year’s Eve Appetizers & Cocktails

Published December 28, 2014 - Last Updated April 9, 2019

We’re about to ring in the new year, and what better way to celebrate than with finger foods and cocktails? I love serving “little bites” at parties (you can read about the history of finger foods here). The small portions allow guests to sample many tasty dishes without filling up too much on any one particular thing.
To celebrate the new year, I’ve put together this roundup of scrumptious appetizer and cocktail recipes for the secular new year. It features recipes from me as well as my food blogging friends. Cheers!

    Can’t wait to try some of these. One comment, in the Lavender Gimlet, the directions say “Place the lavender buds in the bottom of a cocktail shaker. Crush them with the back of a wooden spoon to help release the flavor. Add the lavender…” Just want to be sure that you really meant “Add the agave…”?
