'The Walking Dead' Cocktail Party
After a record-breaking premiere in 2011, AMC's The Walking Dead finally returned on Sunday, continuing its characters' quests to stay alive. In a world overrun by zombies, it might be difficult to sit down for a nice dinner, but one could definitely use a drink. If you want to party like a zombie-attack survivor, here are some ideas for your own Walking Dead cocktail party.
A must have drink are Zombies. Also, take a look at these fun Halloween-themed cocktails for more inspiration.
The food of choice for Zombies are brains. You can draw inspiration from this love of brains for your appetizers and serve brain-flavored dishes, similar to what The Gory Gourmet Food Truck of London did. Or, for the less adventurous, create a playful twist on some of your favorite appetizers.
- Skewered Heart: Grilled beef on a "spear" in your favorite marinade
- Severed Fingers: Pigs in a blanket
- Bloody Eyeballs: Small mozzarella balls with an olive slice in a shallow bowl of marinara sauce
- Salty Bones: Take a tube of refrigerated breadstick dough and form it into the shape of small bones, sprinkle on a bit of course salt, then bake and serve
To end things on a sweet note, have some eyeball-decorated cupcakes for dessert.
