Depending on where you are in the world, the big party for Christmas might be held on December 25 — or it might be on December 24, as people get together to slide into Christmas together. That’s true here in Germany, and it’s the case for many Latinx people too who get together to celebrate Noche Buena with plenty of good food and good company.

If you have plans to celebrate on Christmas Eve, then why not try a tequila-themed cocktail? The brand LALO tequila has shared some seasonal recipes including a simple but delicious highball specifically for Noche Buena, adding festive touches like rosemary and pomegranate to a base of blanco tequila and tonic water. There’s also a touch of maraschino liqueur and some bitters in there for extra interest and flavor, making this the perfect light and sparkling way to welcome the festivities.

Forget the cliché: Charcuterie is the ultimate Fall hosting move

Fall Charcuterie

Instead of sticking to predictable charcuterie board spreads, fall is one of the best times to change things up when making a charcuterie board. Since there’s really not one “correct way” to build a charcuterie board, fall party hosts can experiment with fun game-day boards and cozy gathering feasts using a collection of autumn flavors, from apples to nuts to warm spices, richer cheeses, and fall fruit spreads and jams. While charcuterie boards might have once been associated with girls’ nights and wine pairings, a solid charcuterie board is ultimately just a masterclass in cured meats, sharp cheeses, and bold flavors that any guy can appreciate.

We chatted with Gardar Stefansson, CEO & Co-Founder of GOOD GOOD no-sugar-added jams, to get the scoop on how to craft the perfect Fall charcuterie board. From thinking outside the box with flavor pairings to building a balanced seasonal board, here’s what he shared on creating a high-end spread of cured meats, sharp cheeses, and hearty snacks that speaks to any guy’s appetite.
