    FAQ

    What kind of drinks can I serve with these appetizers?

    Choose from these easy holiday cocktails or these martini cocktails. This French Martini is one of my favorites!

    Can I make these party appetizers ahead of time?

    You can make all these ahead of time. If the dish needs to be warm, just pop it in the oven for 15 minutes (longer if it's cold) before serving. If the dish is served on bread, crackers, or lettuce, wait until you're ready to serve to put the appetizers together. If taking to a gathering, store the cracker or bread in a separate container so nothing gets soggy.

    What could I add to these appetizers.

    Any of these appetizers would benefit from fresh herbs. Most of the recipes have suggestions and variations, so visit each site to learn more tips for the making the best party appetizers.

    I hope you have some new favorites from this list of best appetizers to bring to a party. Let me know which one is your favorite!
