Countdown to 2026: A Holiday Feast.
When it comes to hosting celebrations, people often divide into two rather distinct categories: the ones that enjoy it, and the ones that would choose to do almost anything else. Getting prepared in advance is essential, and choosing a few scrumptious dishes to kick off the festivities will entertain your guests while you try to manage everything.
Citrusy Smoked Paprika Almonds with Fennel
These citrusy, spiced nibbles make for a perfect pairing for the vibrant pink grapefruit mocktails listed below.
Salmon & Ricotta on Buckwheat Blinis
A scrumptious holiday appetizer that can conveniently be modified to serve with a fruity garnish for younger guests.
Pink Grapefruit, Cardamom and Lime Mocktails
These concoctions are a zesty substitute to booze, but also make a tasty ingredient for a gin-based cocktail.

Handcrafted spirit for a particularly festive celebration drink, ideal for gifting or serving at events.
Tender Lamb with a Zingy Sumac and Onion Salad
