Some of my favorites are crostinis and sliders. I make my sliders with veal cutlets \u2013 they\u2019re great.\u201d By letting guests serve themselves, everyone can eat on their own time giving the hostess time to kick back and relax with her own cocktail and spend quality time with friends.<br \/>\n<strong>Let the guests be their own bartenders.<\/strong> Nadia G recommends a vodka punch like her Pomagrenade Punch (recipe below) or a DIY mixers bar: stock a table with bowls of bite sized fresh fruit and herbs that have been soaking in liquor and simple syrup. Serve these gourmet mixers with chilled bottles of unflavored and flavored vodkas (Hint: flavored vodkas from Van Gogh Vodka make everyone an instant expert bartender with their smooth, authentic taste and vibrant colors), carbonated water, rum and white wine. Guests will have a blast mixing and matching cocktails and experimenting with new combinations.<br \/>\n<strong>Give them something sweet \u2013 and don\u2019t forget the coffee.<\/strong> Nadia\u2019s Chocolate Balls (recipe below) made with butterscotch chips, peanuts and crushed pretzels are easy to whip up and major crowd pleasers. Topping off the evening with coffee is always a good idea; have regular and decaf on hand for guests to choose from at the end of the night.<br \/>\n<strong>Send the guests home with something you\u2019ve created in your kitchen.<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Pomagrenade\u00a0Punch<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n1 cup Van Gogh Pomegranate Vodka<br \/>\n1 fresh red hot chili, seeded and sliced paper thin<br \/>\n2 large pomegranates, seeded<br \/>\n1\/2 cup pomegranate juice<br \/>\n1 bottle chilled champagne or sparkling wine<br \/>\n4 mandarins, finely sliced<br \/>\n1\/4 cup maple syrup (optional &#8211; depending on desired sweetness)<br \/>\nIce<br \/>\n<em>In a large bowl combine pomegranate vodka chili, and pomegranate seeds. Cover and marinate in fridge for 30 minutes.\u00a0 Add the rest of ingredients when ready to serve.<\/em><br \/>\n<strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Chocolate Balls<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>1 cup finely chopped semi-sweet chocolate<br \/>\n1 cup finely chopped milk chocolate<br \/>\nI cup butterscotch chips<br \/>\n1 1\/2 cups unsalted dry-roasted peanuts<br \/>\n1 1\/2 cups crushed pretzels\u00a0<br \/>\n<em>Heat a double boiler over medium heat.\u00a0 Add the semi-sweet chocolate, milk chocolate and butterscotch chips to the top pan.\u00a0 Stir until everything is melted.\u00a0 Remove it from the heat, and fold in the peanuts and pretzels.\u00a0 Let the mixture cool slightly at room temperature. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and scoop on heaping tablespoons of the chocolate mixture.\u00a0 Refrigerate for 5 minutes.\u00a0 Remove it from the fridge, and with your fingers, gently compact the ingredients to form balls.\u00a0 Cover and refrigerate until you\u2019re ready to serve them.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Cooking Channel star, Nadia G, of
