Preparation:

Prepare a variety of hot and cold appetizers and lay out Dare Crackers for guests to cleanse their palates between drinks. Bremner Wafers, voted the preferred cracker by sommeliers nationwide, are an especially good palate cleanser for wine. Vary appetizers and keep them simple, like Sesame Tofu Fry, Four Cheese Ravioli, Prosciutto & Asparagus with Mustard Yogurt, Creamy Brie Crackers, Curried Shrimp Canapé, and Tuscan Bean Spread.

Helpful hints:

It is perfectly acceptable to serve wine, beer, punch, and a variety of mineral and sparkling waters at cocktail parties.
