Continuing on yesterday's Mad Men party ideas, today we have printables featuring the women - Betty, Joan, and Peggy.
Naturally, a Mad Men watch party needs an appropriately retro menu. A few ideas straight from the 1960s:
Drink
AMC has put together a great collection of classic cocktail recipes. I especially recommend the Sidecar, Tom Collins, and an Old Fashioned without the fruit (fruit was added in the 1970s).
Dish
Deviled eggs
Meatballs - frozen from the store are fine
Ambrosia salad
Hot Cheese Puffs (I've made this exact recipe...they were a hit!)
Chex Mix
Ambiance
Music: Crooners like Frank and Tony
Serveware: Browse your local thrift store for vintage serving plates and coupe glasses. Oversized cocktail glasses are a modern invention.
Inspiration
Always Order Dessert's 1960s Cocktail Party (you must check it out...it's the best I've seen online)
Betty Crocker Party Cookbook
