Countdown to 2026  a New Year's Eve menu
"When it comes to throwing parties, the world falls into two quite distinct camps: those who love to do so, and those who would rather do almost anything else. Getting organised early is key, and finding a few delicious recipes to start the proceedings will amuse your guests while you try to keep the show on the road.

These drinks are a refreshing alternative to booze, but also make a delicious mixer for a tequila or gin-based cocktail"
Party hosts split into enthusiastic planners and those who prefer to avoid hosting. Early organisation and a selection of delicious, simple recipes help keep events running smoothly. Spicy, citrussy fennel, lemon and smoked paprika almonds provide a lively snack, while buckwheat blinis with ricotta and salmon work as an adaptable festive starter. Pink grapefruit, cardamom and lime mocktails offer a refreshing alcohol-free option and serve as mixers, while juniper and lemon martinis showcase home-infused gin for gifting or special occasions. Slow-cooked shredded lamb shoulder with red onion sumac salad makes an impressive low-effort main, and spiced cranberry and chocolate tart pairs baked cranberry sauce with chocolate frangipane for dessert.
