Thirsty Thursday - Rock Lobster

If you were a fan of the show Friends like me then you likely remember "she's your lobster" episode. When I saw this last week on our Nantucket vacation, I was inspired to have a lobster cookout, something that certainly isn't easily executed in the city. A traditional boiled lobster is definitely one of those meals I have always enjoyed eating at home allowing myself to get as messy as I wish. However this little luxury of a meal can also be very stylish when entertaining. Just check out all the chic lobster goodies you can put together to host a fabulous lobster bake in your home. So in light of my usual cocktail concoctions I usually share, I thought I would keep it simple with a simple glass of chilled champagne for an inspired lobster dinner.


Whether you are on the water or not this nautical champagne is the perfect accompaniment to a seaside dining experience and a little lobster cocktail adornment never hurt anybody. A fun "how to eat a lobster" print adds some fun decor. A lobster pot is a necessity for cooking numerous lobsters at a time, while a roll of kraft paper is easy clean up for the messy meal. Bowls for the discarded shells and butter are a must as well is a tray for serving the lobsters. Seafood tools like a cracker for the shell, a long fork to help get out the hard to reach bits and a bib help make the meal more fun and of course you will need lots of lemon to clean off the smell of the sea and chic napkins for drying your hands.

Fabulous Favor

It's no surprise that the idea of having a signature cocktail at any soiree is a must have these days. I have done them at 40th birthdays, farewell parties, and even in our own wedding. I have loved them each and every time and so have the guests.  Creating a catchy name along with a concoction that represents your favorite spirits is a fun way to add a personal touch to your event along with letting your guests know a little something about you and your other half. This had me thinking of other ways to incorporate a "signature cocktail" in your event and what I came up with was a favor everyone would love. The combination of your favorite drink along with well thought out details like a custom recipe card, your new married name on bottle tags, glassware and straws for enjoying and voila you  have yourself one fabulous favor that is memorable and something that everyone will enjoy. Just pick your favorite liquor and get creative on the gift giving...Cheers!
