Make sure the ingredients are fresh and of good quality for the best taste. Arrange the snacks nicely on the shelf for an inviting presentation.
Create a balance in flavors and textures
Make sure you have a mix of sweet, salty and savory snacks. For example, combine slices of sweet figs with salty Parma ham for a delicious flavor combination. You can also serve creamy brie on crusty baguette and complement it with some savory olives for a balanced taste and texture on your festive table. Remember to vary and experiment with different combinations to create the ultimate balance of flavors and textures.
Presentation is key
Use beautiful serving dishes, cutting boards and bowls to present the snacks in an elegant way. Think of color contrasts and variation in height. For example, place different types of cheese on a wooden cutting board next to some grapes in a glass bowl. Or present various types of meats on a marble serving platter with some olives in a small bowl for a luxurious look. Experiment with different combinations and discover what suits your presentation best.
Decorate with fresh herbs and fruit
Add color and freshness to your drinks board! Place some fresh herbs, such as basil and thyme, decoratively on top. Also add grapes, figs and berries for extra flair and flavor! Note the variation in colors and textures for a visually appealing presentation. Mix and match to your taste and enjoy these delicious and beautiful additions to your drinks board!
Use small plates and forks
Prepare small plates and elegant forks or skewers. Make sure that guests can easily enjoy the luxurious snacks without making a mess. Place these accessories in strategic places in the room. This makes it easy for everyone to elegantly enjoy the delicious snacks.
Serve matching drinks
Make sure you offer matching wine, champagne or cocktails that perfectly match the flavors of your drinks. Choose wines that complement the different flavors of the snacks and enrich the experience. Experiment with combinations and ask a sommelier for advice for the best options. Don't forget to also make non-alcoholic options available for guests who don't drink alcohol.
