When cocktails are the main event, you need some nice-looking bite-sized snacks to serve with the drinks. Here are a few ideas for cocktail snacks that are original, classy, and can be put together by virtually anyone.

Prawn on toast

Fresh prawns, dressed in sour cream and lemon, piled onto crispy toasted baguette are a great elegant yet easy-to-make canape. To make it even more impressive, you can add salmon roe and fresh parsley on top.

Bacon and Dates Appetizer

This appetizer may sound odd at first, but hear us out. The combination of bacon and dates balances smoky, salty, and sweet flavors perfectly. The wraps should be baked for approximately 20 minutes and turned over about halfway through. And the best part is that they don’t need to be served straight out of the oven, they taste even better after cooling a bit.

Prosciutto Wrapped Grissini

It may look fancy, but this bite is literally the easiest one in the book. Opt for grossing, which is a thin, crisp Italian cracker for optimal effect.

Blistered Edamame

Bursting with flavor and healthy at the same time, this spicy edamame can be a refreshing addition to your snack table. It tastes best with a squeeze of lime.
