HALLOWEENentertaining guide

☐ The DecorationsSticks collected from the backyard spray painted in black and white, pumpkins over various shapes, sizes, textures and colors and black roses make for a spooktacular setting.

WE HAVE A CHECKLIST FOR THAT

NO NEED TO FRET

☐ BeveragesIf you’re serving alcoholic drinks, plan on three to four cocktails per guest for a two- to three-hour party. A seasonal favorite like apple cider can easily play double-duty, non-alcoholic for the teetotalers and kids in your group and spiked with rum or bourbon for those that choose to imbibe.

☐ AppetizersSeasonal colors of Orange and Black are found in more than just candy. Elevate your affair with caviar (we suggest our DEAN & DELUCA Salmon Roe, orange and Gold Label Oesetra Caviar, black).

☐ DessertsCupcakes and cookies are easy for guests to eat and fun to decorate for Halloween. Using our Something Wicked Cupcake Kit you can even allow guests to express themselves by adding spooky stickers and toppers of their choosing. Serve on a platter surrounded by “smoke” made from dry ice and you have a yummy treat and showstopper for your dessert table.

As law enforcement officials shut down countless bars and saloons across the country speakeasies sprang up

overnight. By 1925 tens of thousands had opened in New York City alone. To drive up sales these speakeasies began

to offer forward-thinking culinary delights in addition to intoxicating beverages. Assorted bite-sized canapés became popular as did hosting cocktail parties at home.
