50′s retro cocktail party
Thank you to all who attended for helping to make my dream of throwing a pseudo Breakfast at Tiffany’s party a reality. To those who weren’t able to attend, there will be more in the future and we’ll try to keep everything a bit more in keeping with Truman Capote’s vision.
Thanks to Sue, the setting was perfect for a summer cocktail party!
The hors d’ hoeuvres were amazing – and when were you last at a party where not 1, but 3 different styles of mini hotdogs were served? Yes, the infamous velveeta/pepper dip/fondue with Fritos was also available. Cocktails might have been a bit more exotic and modern than the 1950′s versions but oh my . . . You could choose between Margaritas, Cosmos, a Basil/Gin Lillet, or Sake Sangria if you were not playing it safe with beer or seltzer. To end things on a sweet note there were homemade chocolate covered strawberries.
But, of course, what makes a party are the guests and you all made it stellar. Many many thanks for food, beverages, and the use of a certain someone’s brand new Element.
Until the next soiree, cin cin!
