Do-It-Yourself Delights

(NAPSI)—Often, a casual laid-back gathering is way more fun than a formal one. So ask your guests to roll up their sleeves and put them to work with a create-your-own bar. Whether <span class=”GramE”>it’s</span> pizza, tacos or ice cream sundaes, you simply set up a bunch of delicious ingredients and invite guests to develop their own creations.

Bloody (and Virgin) <span class=”SpellE”>Marys</span> are <span class=”GramE”>all the</span> craze these days. They’ve become much more than a drink, and if you do it right, they wind up being a meal.

Here are a few fun ideas to get your Bloody Mary bar on:

• Start with the base—pitchers of <span class=”SpellE”>SuckerPunch</span> Gourmet Bloody Mary Mix and a bottle of good vodka. Let your <span class=”GramE”>guests</span> mix the two as some folks may want to skip the alcohol but they certainly won’t want to skip on the fun.

• Tall glasses and plenty of ice are a must.

• A salted rim is almost mandatory on each and every glass. A selection of different flavored salts—garlic, onion, paprika, chili—and some lime wedges are all it takes. Simply moisten the glass by running the lime around the rim, <span class=”GramE”>then</span> dip it in the flavored salt.

• The real fun begins with the garnishes. Just about anything savory goes with a Bloody or Virgin Mary. Stalks of celery (of course), chilled shrimp, bacon, mini meatballs, <span class=”SpellE”>SuckerPunch</span> Gourmet pickles, olives, pickled peppers, mini hot dogs, baby sliders, cherry tomatoes, <span class=”SpellE”>bocconcini</span>, sardines, smoked oysters, smoked salmon, mini sushi, mini dim sum, buffalo wings, hard-cooked eggs, the list goes on.

• Forget about small toothpicks and go for long skewers so guests can load up on the garnishes. Tip: Use two skewers side by side to ensure the goodies don’t fall off.
