The cocktail party beckons a bygone era. A time when elegance and sophistication ruled. Contemporary cocktail parties, while more relaxed, still maintain the same essential ingredients; perfectly mixed cocktails, luxurious finger-foods and great music.

“A Modern Cocktail Party” supplies all these essentials. Inside, a 44 page full-color cocktail book boasts a stunning array of cocktail and appetizer recipes all photographed to mouthwatering perfection. Follow Master Chef Mark Spangenthal’s simple instructions and your guests will delight in the elegant, robust flavors of Fried Oysters with Lemon Lime Cocktail Sauce complimented perfectly by an ice-cold Sake Martini, or try the irresistable Johnny Cakes with Sour Cream and Caviar accompanied by a champagne-tinged Passion Kir Royal.

The final ingredient necessary for the perfect cocktail party... Music. To assure the ideal mood, we’ve supplied a CD brimming with a dozen legendary singers and big-bands performing the timeless classics that helped to define the “golden era” of the cocktail. This effervescent and joyful music has thankfully returned to the forefront of modern musical tastes and will serve as the perfect backdrop for your "Modern Cocktail Party".
