Come Party With Me: Chinese New Year — Drinks
Kick-start your Chinese New Year dinner party with an elegant cocktail. A lychee martini is sophisticated, cool, and festively flirty. When you sit down to dinner offer guests a dry Riesling, fruity Sauvignon Blanc, or crisp Chenin Blanc; all would pair nicely with the menu.
Come Party With Me: Fall Dinner - Drinks
To salute fall's arrival, I will make a big pitcher of a signature cocktail for my fall dinner party. The cocktail, an orange tequila concoction, has the gorgeous color of an autumn sunset. Make the cocktail an hour or two before the party starts.
Come Party With Me: Housewarming Party - Drinks
Much like the christening of a boat, to start the celebration off at your housewarming party, pop open a bottle of champagne and invite everyone to join you in a toast to your future in the new house.

For a dinner party I hosted a few weeks ago, I needed a cocktail that would pair nicely with a Greek-inspired pork tenderloin. In my InStyle Parties book, I came across something called an Early Autumn Cocktail that sounded perfect; it combines lemon juice, the anise-y Galliano liqueur, and fresh thyme sprigs.
