A simple game day party is the perfect way to enjoy time together with family and friend during the holidays.  A few game day food ideas, cocktail recipes and decorating ideas is all you need to bring out your inner hostess and help you throw the BEST.PARTY.EVER!  We are so excited to be partnering with Smirnoff to bring you this Game Day edition of #partycrafters. 

The holidays can be a very stressful time of year.  Families gather together and try to squeeze in as much quality time as possible.  I can attest it is very taxing for me.  The opportunity to step back, relax and catch a game together in the midst of the excitement was actually one of the most enjoyable family activities we have done together in the last 4 or 5 years!

Of course with “simple” being my party ‘theme’ this year I began by deciding what I wanted to do and then cut out any unnecessary work.  The idea was to have fun, not just play hostess while everyone else enjoyed themselves. 

Food is the first step.  Everyone likes to eat crunchy munchy finger food while watching the game, so we picked several of our favorites and put them within arms length of the couches.  Popcorn and tortilla chips and salsa were our choices, but pretzels, potato chips and dip are also great options.

It has been a little cool outside so a chili bar was set up.  The center piece of the food table was the hearty crockpot chili with some bowls and spoons and a handful of toppings all set up.  I simply assembled the chili into the slow cooker first thing in the morning and it was ready to eat by kick-off. 

You can really go crazy with toppings here.  We served cheddar cheese, green onions and sour cream.  You could also include crushed tortilla chips, croutons, bacon crumbles, fresh veggies, and anything else your heart desires.  A side of cheese bread would thrill your game day party goers!

I realized that even for a simple party, the décor needed a little color so we ran to the fabric store and picked up some green fabric and then stopped by the party store for some football serving pieces and napkins.  They are so cute!

Serving our remaining holiday treats as our dessert tray was a yummy way to use them up.  You can bake or buy, but we were going for simple and we used what we had in our house.  We chose a few favorite cookies and our best ever brownies. 

Hot finger food was a cinch.  We had that delivered right after kick off.  With delivery you choose the time and save the hassle of cooking all day.  What is better football food than pizza and wings?  Nothing we could think of so we ordered enough to feed a crowd and we were done.  Have your favorite pizza place cut your pizza into squares for easy to manage game day finger food.  If you are looking to cook up some game day appetizers, check out these easy recipes.

The easiest part was the cocktails  Using Smirnoff’s recipe guide and Facebook page we chose a few cocktails using 3 different Smirnoff flavored vodkas.  We served 2 seasonal favorites; apple and pomegranate cocktails along with a fun twist on an Irish coffee.  Party planning complete, just add friends and family.

I have to say this was the most willing group of party goers ever.  After a fabulous holiday filled week we gathered together on the last day of my brother and sister in law’s Christmas visit and enjoyed some down time and bonded over a football game, casual conversation and food.  It was fabulous!  I mean really:  family, football, food and cocktails.  How could you go wrong? 

The cocktails were evenly split.  Everyone had their own favorite.  My brother in law thought that the Smirnoff Kissed Caramel vodka brought a surprising flavor to the Apple Crisp Cocktail and it won him over.  He loved this cool take on a hot toddy.

I loved the subtle citrus compliment to the pomegranate and cranberry juice in the Winter on the Cape; your cape codder on a winter vacation.

Chad fell for the merry Irish coffee; a combination of Smirnoff Whipped Cream vodka, coffee liqueur and French vanilla creamer.  The Creamy Iced Coffee is the consummate dessert cocktail.

After a fabulous time together we cleaned up said goodbye and suggested that every holiday visit should end with a game day party.  I can’t wait for the bowl games to start.  Who are you rooting for?

With love from our holiday party table to yours!

The Christmas season is the best time of year and our annual holiday party is my absolute favorite party!  Simplifying a Christmas party makes it so much more fun for you and your guests.  We are so excited to be partnering with Smirnoff to help you craft your holiday party. 

I always start party planning by choosing a theme.  It can be a simple choice of colors or you can go all out and create a Winter Wonderland Celebration.  I like simple.  Old world colors of deep reds and golds make me happy. I will send out an invitation that reflects that theme.  My invitations will include a lovely image on the front cover and You Are Invited:  Our Annual Christmas Party.  I actually used to mail out our invites, but in the last few years I have started using online invites and I like it so much more.  Simple. 

The details for the party are inside the invite.  We are serving appetizers, desserts and cocktails.  Therefore the party will start a little later than an actual dinner party.  Our party starts at 7:30pm.  The perfect time.   I also let our guests know that it will be appetizers, desserts and cocktails. Lastly I will tell them what the appropriate attire is and to bring a gift to exchange if they would like to participate and the value of the gift.

Menu planning is next. 

Choosing food is so much fun for me.  With an old world theme; appetizers and desserts are perfect.  The cheese board is a must; choose 3 of your favorite cheeses, a sliceable sausage, some crackers and grapes.  Arrange them on a tray and put out a cheese knife.  I also serve mine with cream cheese and a few specialty jellies, such as passion fruit jalapeno jelly and strawberry fig jam.

Really take the time to make it simple.  Make the party planning easier by asking friends to help with the planning and set up.  Also you can plan for a potluck, buy pre-made food or make simple dishes.  As far as appetizers are concerned, bruschetta is a winner.  There are so many options.  I love a classic Caprese Bruschetta with a slice of tomato, fresh mozzarella and a fresh basil leaf.  Set out a bottle of balsamic vinaigrette and your guest will love it. And of course don’t forget the cocktails!

A few of your favorite simple appetizers, a few bowls of olives, pickles or pickled vegetables and a vegetable tray is a great variety for your party. 

I love olives and a big bowl of Greek olives and a bowl of black olives are always a hit.  Not to menion they are always empty by the end of the party.

Desserts are simple, try and keep it to finger foods when possible or pre-cut your cakes and pies. 

Every party needs signature cocktails.  We have 3.  All three cocktails are made with Smirnoff flavored vodkas from their confections line.

Cocktails are the star of the show.  I like colorful cocktails with pretty garnishes.  Drinks that fit your party are most fun.  For our Christmas party we are serving 3 cocktails.  Our menu consists of a hot cocktail, a super simple cocktail and a fun cocktail.  We also serve homemade eggnog each year and that is ALWAYS a hit.

We have a ton of cocktail recipes on our site.  But for this party we turned to the mixologists at Smirnoff for some fun ideas.  We created 3 fabulous cocktails that you are going to love.

The Cheeky Churro Shooter is a fun cocktail perfect for the cooler weather made with Smirnoff Cinna-Sugar Twist Vodka.  It is warm and scrumptious.  It tastes like a churro in a glass.   Serve in mini martini glasses for a party perfect look.

The Whipped Vodka Cranberry Cocktail is simple and classic.  We crafted this cocktail with Smirnoff Whipped Cream Vodka for a little twist.  It adds a great smoothness to the drink.  Typically served in a high ball glass we serve this in a martini glass which adds a touch of party fun.

For a fun twist on classic hot cocoa serve this Hot Cocoa Cocktail made with Smirnoff Iced Cake flavored vodka.

Pairing cocktails with food is another fun option.  The Whipped Vodka Cranberry Cocktail is perfect with the cheese tray and appetizers.

The Cheeky Churro Shooter pairs wonderfully with the dessert tray. 

What could be better than cookies and hot cocoa?  How about a Hot Cocoa Cocktail served with your favorite cookies?

Don’t forget mood music.  We run a CD of 20 of our favorite Christmas songs.  Guests appreciate a variety so we have some classic, rock and country songs on our track.  The music plays in the background and sets the energy at the party.  So be sure to keep that in mind when you are planning.

Fun gift ideas:

Homemade gifts are a favorite.  Ask party goers to bring a dozen of their favorite homemade cookies and attach the recipe.  This works for whatever your handmade interests are.  Knitting, sculpting, painting and for the creatively challenged there is always Etsy.

Have party guests bring an ornament to exchange.  When the guests arrive have them hang their ornaments on a lighted Christmas tree.

Invite party guests to bring a gift that they would want for themselves.  Its fun to try and get the gift you brought.  Set a value.  For $20 you can pick up something pretty nice and not break the bank.

The $1 exchange is said to be the most fun.  Give guests a $1 budget and see the amazing things they come up with.

Whatever your interests are you can base an exchange around it.  Fashion, beauty, games, gift cards, homemade gifts; the point is to just make it fun.

Fun exchange ideas:

White Elephant / Yankee Swap / Chinese Swap – What ever you call it is a very fun gift exchange game.  First you will need to choose an order of participation.  Numbers in a hat, choosing cards out of a deck, choose by age, first name.  Decide on an order to play.

The first person chooses a gift from the pile of presents and unwraps it.  The second player may either open a present from the pile of gifts or “steal” from the person that opened before him.  Their turn is over.  If they stole the gift the person who had their gift stolen gets to pick a gift.  Each player will take a turn and have a chance to open a gift from the pile or steal an open gift.  If your gift is stolen you get to take another turn.  Continue until  every one has a gift.  Rules:  You can not steal from the person that stole from you.  No gift can be stolen more than 2 times.

Right/Left – Write a story or have someone right a story with the words right and left in the story multiple times.  Have your guests sit in a circle and hold the gift they came with.  Each time the story says right you pass your gift to the right and each time the story says left you pass to the left.  Whatever gift you are holding at the end is yours.  Just makes sure you do not have the same number of “left” and “right” or you will end up with your own gift.

There are a million more games for gift exchanges, but these are my favorites.  No matter what you do the object is to have fun.  Your friends and family are coming to spend time with you and celebrate with you.  The gifts are not the important part.  Make memories that will last a lifetime.

Enjoy and happy holidays, no matter what you are celebrating.  Drink responsibly.

We are so excited to partner with Smirnoff to bring you our Haunted Halloween Party.  Party planning is some of the most fun I will have all season long.  To make the party tons of fun and completely memorable I like to simplify the party plan and allow myself plenty of time to mingle and enjoy the event.

With the help of Smirnoff we are going to take you through the perfect Halloween bash!  AND…  Over the next few months, we are going to help you take the stress out of the holidays.  Smirnoff is helping hostesses everywhere put the fun back in the party with hints, tips and tricks to make your planning simple.  Let’s focus on making memories.  So keep an eye out for more fab parties in November and December too!

Every party needs a signature cocktail and our Haunted Halloween Party is no different.  Being this is “The Best Ever Haunted Halloween Party”, we decided to go all out and feature 3 cocktails that are easy to make-ahead or on the fly.  All three cocktails are made with Smirnoff flavored vodkas from their confections line.

The Candy Corn Martini is quite a looker.  It starts with candy corn infused with Smirnoff Whipped Cream Vodka that you can make the day before.  The cocktail tastes just like candy corn in a glass; an absolute winner for candy corn lovers.  The black sugar rim really makes this cocktail look spectacular.

Candy Corn Martini serves 4

3 ounces Smirnoff Whipped Vodka

3/4 cup candy corn (I highly recommend Brach’s)

3 ounces vanilla vodka

1 ounce of orange liqueur

2 tablespoons of sugar (for rimming the glass)

Infusing Vodka

(Makes 5 ounces enough for 4 Martinis, adjust accordingly)

Combine vodka and candy corns in a glass container with a lid for 24
hours.  Open container, stir and strain out small remaining candy
parts.  Set aside.

Rim the martini glass by dipping the rim in your choice of liquids
(vodka, orange liqueur or candy corn vodka).  We used the candy corn
vodka for more flavor.  Then coat with sugar (we used sanding sugar for
more coarse look) by dipping the glass into a saucer with sugar on it.

In a martini shaker combine the candy corn vodka, the vanilla vodka and
the orange liqueur with a handful of ice.  Shake to chill and pour into 4
prepared martini glasses.  Garnish with 2-3 Candy Corns in the bottom
if desired. 

The next cocktail is simple and scrumptious.  The Caramel Apple Martini is a haunting shade of alien green and would look magnificent with a purple sugar rim.  Smirnoff Kissed Caramel Vodka and sour apple schnapps come together in this fab sweet and sour cocktail.  It is a great make ahead drink so that makes it party perfect.

Caramel Apple Martini

serves 1

1 ounces sour apple schnapps

1 ounces butterscotch schnapps

1/2 ounce Smirnoff Kissed Caramel Vodka

1 caramel candy

In a martini shaker filled with ice combine alcohol, shake to combine.
Pour into a martini glass with caramel candy in the bottom.  Enjoy!

Last but not least is the show stopper!  The Vampire’s Kiss Martini.  A gory looking cocktail dripping with ‘blood’ is sure to turn your party guests into vampires with just one sip.  This sweet cranberry pomegranate cocktail is created with Smirnoff Whipped Cream Vodka for a smooth flavor that doesn’t bite back, although it looks like it stepped right out of Transylvania. 

The Vampire’s Kiss Martini

serves 2

4 ounces Smirnoff Whipped Cream Vodka

2 ounces grenadine

8 ounces cranberry pomegranate juice

ice

Fill a cocktail shaker with ice, pour in ingredients.  Cover and shake
to combine.  Strain into prepared cocktail glasses. Serve and enjoy!

What could possible make these cocktails more exciting???  Smoke, lots of smoke… Want to wow your party guests with dry ice?  Dry ice is serious business, but done right it is a lot of fun at parties!  We are going to show you exactly how to safely work with dry ice.  Scroll to the bottom of the page for a detailed “how to”.

One single dry ice cube in cocktails glasses creates a river of fog and help set the spooky scene on the drink table.  Add a cauldron with fog spilling across the scene to really create the perfect eery feel.

Food and décor are a big starting point for me with parties.  Once I have a theme I can run with it.  So for our party haunted Halloween is our theme; the food, cocktails and décor just fell into place.  It all starts with a spooky invitation that will set the tone for the party.

Decor was a lot of fun for this party.  We chose black burlap for tablecloths (found at our local supercenter) and found some cheesecloth that looked ‘crypt perfect’ at the party store to drape along the tables.  We visited our favorite stores looking for scary props, skeletons, skulls, chains, whatever piqued our interest until we had a haunting good scene.  We even found some bright candies and glow sticks to put on our tables to give it a little extra light.

The food had to be fun.  This is an appetizer and cocktail kind of party so I mentioned that on the invitation so no one is expecting a full meal.  A simple menu with Halloween inspired names was the meal plan.  Place cards with the names of the food would make this food table even more fun.

Boozy Bloody Mary Salsa is a fabulous adult creation.  Just like the infamous cocktail, but in a chunky salsa.  Serve with tortilla chips for a favorite appetizer. 

What dip could be more perfect for our menu than Gory Guacamole?  It is simply 1 cup of your favorite guacamole and ½ cup of your favorite salsa lightly stirred together.  Looks perfect and tastes delicious.

Every party has to have deviled eggs, especially this one.  We made Deviled Spider Eggs.  They are so fun and a bit creepy which makes them perfect.  These are an easy to make dish and can be made ahead.  Whip up your favorite deviled eggs and then take a black olive, cut it in half lengthwise.  Place that half in the center of the filling. Then take the other half and cut it in half again lengthwise.  Then cut 4 slices across.  When you are done you will have 8 pieces to attach as legs.  Serve with a pile of spider eggs (whole olives) in the center of the plate.

The star of the food table has to be the Zombie Eyeballs served over Blood and Guts.  The recipe is a fun variation of our parmesan chicken meatballs served over a fabulous tomato sauce and are a huge hit.  To make zombie eyeballs – cut pimento stuffed green olives in half to create 2 pieces.   While forming meatballs press one half into meatball and bake according to directions.  Sprinkle lightly with shredded mozzarella cheese and serve in your favorite chunky marinara sauce.

Once you have the theme, food and cocktails planned all that is left are some fun ideas to keep the party going.

WOW YOUR PARTY GUESTS WITH DRY ICE

You will need:

 – Dry ice (sold at most grocery stores)

 – Safety glasses

 – Leather gloves

 – Flathead screwdriver or putty knife (clean of course)

 – Hammer

 – Metal bowl

 – Towel

How to Make Dry Ice Cubes for Cocktails

Start out by putting on gloves to protect your hands. Lay a towel down and assemble your tools on top of your towel. 
Remove dry ice from plastic package that it came in, place ice on top of plastic package.  Hold putty knife (or screwdriver) on top of ice and tap with hammer to break a chunk off.  Repeat the process to create little ice cubes, 1″ was perfect for us.  Place in a metal bowl and store in a styrofoam cooler until ready to use.

For fun, drop a dry ice cube in cocktails for a spooky effect.  Be sure to warn guests not to eat the ice cube. 

To create large chunks for a smoky scene, just break into larger pieces using the same
method  Never handle dry ice with bare hands.  To create an entire scene set up a cauldron and place a metal bowl of hot water inside.  Add big chunks of dry ice and
it will smoke, creating the perfect atmosphere for your Halloween party.
NOTE:  you will have to keep adding dry ice to bowl to continue effect.

With Christmas right around the corner let us help you craft the perfect party for your family and friends!
