Easy Holiday Entertaining - Spirited Tips


From sophisticated holiday soirees to casual gatherings, legendary nights require the right mix of fun, friends and spirits.

The pros at Southern Comfort and Finlandia Vodka offer some time-tested tips that will help ensure that your holiday get-together is the talk among your friends:

SoCoc

    * Offer five to six appetizers per person if other food is available; seven to eight if it’s not.
    * Have 2 to 3 pounds of ice on hand for every 10 people; double this amount if serving frozen drinks.
    * Chill glasses by filling them with ice and water before making and serving drinks.
    * Pour drinks immediately after blending to keep them from getting watery.
    * Measure everything. Your drinks will taste better. One bottle of Southern Comfort or Finlandia Vodka provides, roughly, 10 1- to 1 1/2-ounce pours.
    * Utilize fresh fruits and spices of the season for the perfect cocktail, from a caipiroska to a mojito to a martini.
    * Keep up on the latest cocktail trends, but serve a few signature cocktails as well. Or, put a twist on classic drinks, such as these recipes for a Finlandia Cranberry Smash and a SoCo Eggnog Martini.
