I loved the drink display on the table, with the framed photo recipe and gin and lavender. And those bacon/date/gorgonzola bites were ridiculously tasty. I got told I was blocking them more than once while standing nearby </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ssif-libation-noshes#post-1372114 Wed, 08 Oct 2014 20:09:24 +0000 bj1111 1372114@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>back to suggest perhaps subbing rose water or pomegranate syrup for the lavender syrup...tho not as unique. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ssif-libation-noshes#post-1371971 Wed, 08 Oct 2014 15:28:35 +0000 MsMary 1371971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, thank you!&nbsp; That was such a lovely and elegant party!&nbsp; It makes me so happy just thinking about it again!</p> <p>I think I am going to ask my landscape guy for a lavender bush so I will always be prepared to make those awesome cocktails... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ssif-libation-noshes#post-1371960 Wed, 08 Oct 2014 15:11:28 +0000 Inge 1371960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sooo fun, thanks for posting these pics and linking to the recipes, Ann. The lavender was such a brilliant touch, and the napkins were fantastic. All the food was absolutely scrumptious (Sveta and I also very much enjoyed the beautiful cheese selection), and everything was presented so beautifully. You and Steve are cocktail party throwers extraordinaire!-)</p> <p>Thank you so much again for an amazing evening! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ssif-libation-noshes#post-1371942 Wed, 08 Oct 2014 14:51:55 +0000 Angie 1371942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You and Steve were brilliant hosts.

You have an exquisite home and you entertain so beautifully. It's a lost art. I grew up with formal entertaining and I still aspire to create that formal elegant but totally relaxed and welcoming environment which makes people feel pampered and special. Also no one around me throws formal cocktail parties any more, which is such a shame. Glad to see this very special type of entertaining is alive and well by you!! Your menu choice was fabulous and beautiful and what a gorgeous idea for a speciality cocktail, just lovely. I love epicurious too!! Have you read Lauren Purcell's book? <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Cocktail-Parties-Straight-Delicious-Entertaining/dp/076455896X/ref=sr_1_21?s=books&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1412768995&#038;sr=1-21&#038;keywords=cocktail+party" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Cocktail.....tail+party</a> Good ideas and suggestions (not that you need them!!)

And for the bacon wrapped dates which are crack-like. Note to self, do not stand so close to the canapes table next time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ssif-libation-noshes#post-1371729 Wed, 08 Oct 2014 03:52:10 +0000 Sveta 1371729@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It was utterly fabulous!!!! And Greg wanted to go back for more bacon wrapped dates as we were leaving (btw I did not realized there were dates there - but they tasted amazing as everything else). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ssif-libation-noshes#post-1371724 Wed, 08 Oct 2014 03:46:45 +0000 jackiec 1371724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooooooh my kind of post!!!
