Show Off Red, White & Blue this Election Day!
Election day is just around the corner and dinner party plans are in the making. A big question you might be facing, is how can you plan an Election Day dinner party while still keeping the atmosphere sophisticated? Below we’ll highlight the ways to throw a fun and classy politically themed soiree.
Lets start with our wine ensemble. Whether you are starting with red or white wine, an easy way to show your party support is to put raspberries or strawberries for the republicans and blueberries or blackberries for the democrats in your wine glass. The floating fruits add an extra sweetness to your wine and show your political position in a delightful way. If you are not sure about having fruit in your wine, political party wine charms that sit around the stem of your glass will make it easy to distinguish your glass from someone else’s. There are a wide variety of charms from republican elephants to blue beaded rings that can be easily found online.
Next, decide what delectable appetizers would be an appropriate representation of each party. Bruschetta with crackers is always a nice light starter that everyone will love, especially when accompanied by baked Brie with blueberries or dark grapes to represent the blue party. If you are sitting down to dinner later in the evening, left and right wing chicken wings are a fun, filling treat that won’t spoil your dinner appetite. It can be more challenging to find appetizers that fit each party, but desserts have a wide variety of colors that will make your choice easy.
Dessert is the most creative course of the night. Fruit and frosting are great embellishments for deserts that give it flavor and colorful details. Cheesecake is an easy dessert to make that can be decorated perfectly with fruit. Once the cheesecake is made, it can be sliced into squares garnished with blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, or strawberries to give it extra flavor and to represent your political party one last time.
Your guests will be greatly impressed with your politically themed dinner and red and blue touches seen throughout the evening, and will go home thinking about the creative yet simple foods that fit effortlessly into the election dinner night.
