We love cooking, we occasionally do it completely sober (well, glass of wine in hand while dancing to the radio), but preparing party foods should definitely be done with a little extra alcohol both in hand and in the ingredients. So here’s a look at 27 simple boozy recipes to add a little zip to any sized shindig, whether BBQ-ing in the garden or sitting at the table (like proper grown-ups).
So eat, drink and be merry!
