New Years

New Year’s Eve is the one night of the year where dinner is supposed to feel like an event. The table gets dressed up, the cocktails are intentional, and the dessert involves a torch or a showstopper or both. This collection is built for exactly that — elegant without being fussy, impressive without requiring a culinary degree.

For the main course, the Beef Tenderloin with Winter Vegetables and Garlic Fennel Roast Rack of Lamb are the two mains I’d stake a New Year’s Eve dinner on. Both look like you spent all day cooking. Neither will actually ruin your night. For dessert, the Eggnog Crème Brûlée is the one that gets the torch out at the table and makes the whole room pay attention.

The drinks are where New Year’s Eve lives or dies, and this collection has the range covered — the Champagne Pomegranate Cocktail for the midnight toast, the Blackberry Bourbon Smash for the hours before, and the Raspberry Bellini Mocktail for anyone who wants something beautiful in their glass without the alcohol. The Charcuterie and Cheese Grazing Board handles the stretch between arrival and dinner when everyone is festive and hungry.
