Toast the turning of the seasons by serving up a spread of harvest-inspired appetizers and creative cocktails perfectly suited to welcome fall.
Best of the In-Between
With September comes the yearning to revel in fall’s transformative beauty, and a laid-back outdoor cocktail party provides an ideal opportunity to watch this seasonal magic unfold.
For no-fuss décor, pair the last of summer’s verdant backdrop with floral accents beginning to take on burnished hues. Choose linens and tableware in a contrasting color, such as blue, but incorporate the palette across a spectrum of shades and prints, adding intrigue to the subtle setting while furthering its relaxed air.
Harvest Influence
This buffet of small bites boasts big flavor. Start with our Autumn Wine Cocktail, and upgrade traditional kebabs with lamb and sweet potato.
End-of-summer sea fare, such as smoky trout dip and a fresh crab and corn salad, mingles with fall fruit concoctions like a nutty apple and Gorgonzola bruschetta and refreshing Ginger Pear Tea Punch.
We can think of no better way to end the alfresco gathering than with a sweet tribute to classic s’mores. Our decadent spin features cookie cups filled with chocolate ganache and marshmallow meringue.
