Martini Glasses: Not Just for Drinks Anymore

Nov 17, 2009

I’m always looking for delicious recipes and fun ways make appetizers, entrees, and desserts look extra yummy when serving them to my guests.

I have been seeing lots of great drink recipes for the holiday season, so I thought (and I have seen things similar to this) why not instead of using martini glasses for drinks use martini glasses to show off your food. They are the perfect shape to serve food in, don’t you think?

Here’s how.

Tomato soup is one of my favorites so as an appetizer serve tomato soup in a martini glass and garnish with basil and cheese.

Or set out chips and serve guacamole and salsa in martini glasses.

Who doesn’t love potatoes? They are really yummy especially with all the toppings. As one of your side dishes at your holiday party serve each your guests mashed potatoes in martini glass.

As for the desserts well, you can use martini glasses for all types of desserts and served in a martini glass would make them look absolutely mouth-watering.

I would pick chocolate mousse with raspberries, English triflemango sorbet or even tiramisu.

Target.com has 10 plastic martini glasses for $13.99 or 6 glass martini glasses for $23.99.

What would you serve in a martini glass?
