Social Table recipes

Party food, shareable plates and drinks for gatherings, from game-day dips to holiday desserts. Appetizers such as air fryer crab rangoon, crispy buffalo chicken wings, baked chipped beef dip and Texas caviar sit beside shot and cocktail recipes like the Mind Eraser and the French Blonde, plus large-batch green tea shots for a bigger group.

Sweet recipes cover seasonal and themed treats, including Valentine cake pops, Halloween crack, pumpkin spice French toast bake and maple pecan lattice tart. Look at the serving size first: some recipes are written for four, others for ten or twenty. Many dips, snacks and shots come together in about 5 to 20 minutes, while cakes and tarts need more time, so match the recipe to how long you have before guests arrive.
