Festive Bites
No Easter brunch is complete without a selection of festive, flavorful bites to welcome your guests! This year, we’re adding a playful yet elegant touch with our mini “carrot” peppers, filled with a creamy herb spread and topped with delicate dill fronds. These vibrant, bite-sized treats are as beautiful as they are delicious, bringing a fresh, seasonal feel to your spread.
Ingredients:
| 10-12 | Mini bell peppers |
| 1 Bunch | Dill fronds |
| 4 Ounces | Cream cheese, softened |
| 3 Tablespoons | Sour cream |
| 1 | Chopped scallion |
| 1 Tablespoon | Freshly chopped dill |
| 1 Tablespoon | Freshly chopped parsley |
| 1/8 Teaspoon | Salt |
Instructions:
- Place the peppers on a cutting board and slice them lengthwise, parallel to the board. This method ensures that the peppers lie flat instead of tilted on their sides.
- After halving your peppers, feel free to remove any seeds or white ribs if you prefer.
- Add all the filling ingredients to a bowl or mixer and blend well.
- Using a spoon, carefully fill the peppers with the herb cream cheese.
- Remove a few dill fronds and press their ends into the tops of your peppers. The cream cheese filling should hold the stems securely in place.
- Chill until you’re ready to serve!
Springtime Sips and Citrus Twists: Citrus Ice Cubes for Sparkling Cocktails
A sparkling wine cocktail is the ultimate way to elevate your spring celebrations—and with a bit of creativity, it becomes downright unforgettable. This season, we’ve taken your favorite springtime drinks to the next level by adding a refreshing frozen twist. With vibrant citrus infusions, your cocktails get a fun pop of color and an extra burst of flavor as they melt, making every sip a little more exciting.
Orange Rosette Ice Cube
- Slice oranges thinly enough that they can be easily bent but not so thin that they break.
- Cut the bottom third off of each slice.
- Fill a large silicone ice cube tray with water, filling each square less than half full.
- Gently fold each slice into semicircles, working your way toward the middle.
- Pop them in a drink and top with Brut Rosé. Enjoy!
Citrus Mimosas
- To create beautiful ice spheres, start by filling sphere-shaped ice molds with orange, blood orange, or grapefruit juice. Before sealing, carefully tuck a leaf into the opening, ensuring the stem and a bit of the leaf’s bottom are submerged.
- Place the molds in the freezer for about 4 hours or, for best results, overnight.
- Once fully frozen, gently remove the top part of the mold, being careful not to tear the leaves.
- Transfer the ice spheres into a glass, pour some Blanc de Blancs over them, and enjoy!
