There’s something festive about enjoying a pre-dinner cocktail. As long as they’re not too sweet or creamy, a well placed cocktail is just the thing to rev up your appetite in preparation for the meal ahead. Follow that beverage with a glass or two of wine sipped along with the cook’s scrumptious offerings, and end the evening with an après dinner digestif.
You’ll need to have on hand just a few accessories to bring it all together easily.
• A variety of glasses – snifters, high balls, rocks, martini, champagne, liqueur, white wine and red wine
• an ice bucket, tongs and a blender or a wooden mallet to crush ice
• a strainer, shot glass, muddler, bar spoon and a cocktail shaker
• a good corkscrew, zester, cutting board, knife
• cocktail skewers
