One of the biggest expenses at a wedding reception is the drinks. Hosting a full open bar is a costly option, and if you don't have an unlimited budget, I would not recommend doing it. Instead offer guests one
signature cocktail and an assortment of beer and wine.

A few weeks ago I helped my girlfriend host a girls-only birthday party. Instead of serving a full dinner we did appetizers, wine, and a vodka cocktail. The cocktail — with a rosy-pink hue — was a definite crowd pleaser.

Even with a stack of cookbooks surrounding you, this
sweet yogurt sundae with saffron and pomegranate makes you brush everything else aside. I think I know what I'm serving for dessert at my next dinner party! — Steamy Kitchen

A great way to officially kick off the holiday season is to mix up a festive drink! How luscious is this Christmas cocktail? It features the flavors of a classic
mojito — rum and mint — but contains a twist.
