There are three types of aperitif. A single aperitif consists of one drink. For example, champagne, whiskey, vermouth or fruit juice. A mixed aperitif consists of different drinks mixed with each other. Simply put, these are cocktails. A mixed aperitif is a few drinks served on one tray. For example, wine glasses with champagne, glasses with wine and glasses with juice. The aperitif should approach the occasion for a feast and the time of the year. Before the banquet at the summer wedding, while the guests are gathering, or the newlyweds are late, the champagne glass is perfect as an aperitif. To alcohol you can serve fruit platter or chocolate. Before the winter feast on New Year's Eve, guests are better served with a hot fragrant mulled wine or punch.How to serve an aperitif
If a party or party for a particularsubject, the aperitif should fit the general idea. For example, at a Cuban party, champagne or wine is not appropriate as an aperitif. But rum or cocktails on its basis will be very handy. If there is no subject as such, you can serve an aperitif at the discretion of the festival organizer or offer a combined aperitif, giving the guests a choice. White and pink wines are cooled and served in glasses for white wine. Seafood, pates, and cheese are suitable as snacks. Red wines of room temperature are served in glasses for red wine. Bites offer meat, fish, poultry or cheese. Sparkling wines and champagne are served chilled in wine glasses. These drinks are perfectly combined with almost any snack. Cognac is served in low spherical glasses of sniffers at a temperature of 20-25oC. It goes well with hard cheese, olives and chocolate. A popular snack in the form of a lemon is a mistake, as the lemon distorts the taste of the drink. For fruit and mineral waters use high glasses, for juices - glasses. Non-alcoholic drinks are served chilled.
