The Sassy Writer: Prohibition Cocktail Christmas Party

I am obsessed with the 1920's. The fashion, the parties, the drinks, the scandals. I don't believe in reincarnation, but if I did I am pretty sure that I use to be a 1920's flapper girl.

Homemade invitations were sent out in the mail with a Bee's Knees saying:

"Come as a Flapper or Silent Screen star,

Dress as a Gangster to enter the Bar.

A password is needed, use 'Speakeasy' slang,

For the Time of your Life, Please don't be Late."

My husband and I like to entertain. We are both very passionate about food and wine/beer/liquor pairings. We decided to have our first formal party in the form of the 1920's and Christmas.

I wore a fabulous black fringed dress, with black tights, and black heels. I accessorized it with long pink, black, and cream pearls and a feather headband (which I made). My husband wore grey wool pants,a white button-up shirt, black vest, and an armband (which I made). I even made a 'necklace' for the dog.

we had a great dinner menu planned:
1- cauliflower soup with a mini pear and gouda sandwich
2- Roasted Beet and Goat Cheese salad
3- Roasted Chicken with Grits and Hollandaise Sauce
4- Croque em bouche

We made sure to have plenty of spirits. One of my favorite drinks is a French 75/77. My husband's is a Sazerac. We made sure to get as much 1920's themed liquors as possible as well as champagne and wine.
