Like bread and butter, cocktails and canapes go hand in hand. Having catered more canapé receptions than you’ve had hot dinners, we’re delighted to see a trend where the drinks at events are given as much attention as the food served up.

Given a party to organise, the big leap for most is to get the pros in to look after the food. Drinks are either an afterthought or a safe bet sticking with the simple fizz, wine or beer.

This year, we’ve witnessed an emerging trend – a want for as much theatre in our drinks service as there is style in our canapes. At MC we have access to great mixologists and we’ve had some great fun parties and the odd elegant soiree featuring our favourite combo cocktails and canapes.

The French Martini has been the most requested cocktail in 2014, falling at the lower sweetness end of the fruity cocktail department, it’s a great drink to compliment salty smoked meats, salt & pepper squid or anything with chorizo. The mojito never fails to go out of fashion, and is a perfect match for Thai flavours. A kir, or preferably a kir royale has the amazing knack of complimenting any canapé doing the rounds.

As ever, if you want your party to be the one everyone remembers, lets us provide the theatre and  great food leaving you to enjoy the night as much as your guests.
