Bacon-Wrapped Jalapeno Poppers

A little spicy? Yep. Super indulgent? Yes. Totally addictive? You bet.

Yield: 12 poppers

Ingredients

12 jalapeno peppers, approximately 3-4 inches long
8 oz. cream cheese, room temperature
½ c. mozzarella cheese
½ c. Monterey jack or pepper jack cheese
½ tsp. smoked or regular paprika
¼ tsp. garlic powder
⅛ tsp. onion powder
salt, to taste
12 slices thin-cut bacon, cut in half
24 toothpicks

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large baking pan with foil and place a baking/cooling rack on top, to keep peppers from getting soggy.
Wearing gloves, cut peppers in half and carefully remove seeds and membranes. A spoon is a great tool for this.
In a medium-sized bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add the other cheeses and spices and mix until smooth and ingredients are evenly distributed.
Spoon cream cheese mixture into each pepper and level off the top. Wrap with half a piece of bacon. Secure with a toothpick and place on prepared rack.
Bake 25-30 minutes or until crispy and slightly browned on top. If bacon is not crispy enough, turn to broil for 1-2 minutes, watching very carefully.

Cream Cheese Tortilla Bites

Quick and easy (only 4 ingredients!) and vegetarian.

Yield: 36 bites

Ingredients

6 8-inch tortillas
8 oz. cream cheese, room temperature
2 tbsp. everything seasoning, divided
2 tbsp. Butter

Directions

Divided equally, spread the cream cheese over the tops of the tortillas.
Sprinkle each with 1 tbsp. everything seasoning, roll up, and cut into 1-inch sections (six per tortilla, plus ends).
In a large frying pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add the tortilla bites, cut side down, and cook 1-2 minutes or until golden brown. Flip and repeat on the other side. Serve warm.

Feta and Spinach Puff Pastry Appetizers

These fancy pastries look as good as they taste and are sure to impress. Vegetarian.

Yield: 27 pastries

Ingredients

16 oz. frozen spinach, thawed, drained, and squeezed dry
14 oz. can artichoke hearts, drained, chopped, and squeezed dry
½ c. green onions, chopped
8 oz. crumbled Feta cheese
4 oz. Parmigiano Reggiano, grated
1 tsp. salt
½ tsp. pepper
6 cloves garlic, minced
½ stick butter, melted
3 eggs, beaten, divided
3 sheets of puff pastry

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Using a cheesecloth or clean dish towel, squeeze a much water as possible out of chopped spinach and artichokes.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine spinach, artichokes, green onions, cheeses, salt, pepper, garlic, butter, and two beaten eggs.
Roll each sheet of puff pastry out to 10x10 inches. Using a pizza cutter, divide each sheet of puff pastry into 9 equal squares.
Spray a mini muffin tin with nonstick spray. Press each puff pastry square into the bottom and sides of the tins. Place a heaping tablespoon of spinach mixture into each square. Bring each corner up and twist to seal.
Brush additional egg onto each pastry. Bake 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

Ritz Crackers Party Sandwiches

Yes, the nostalgic snack is still a party favorite. Customize with your own favorite cheese and meat, or cheese and roasted veggies.

Yield: 48 sandwiches

Ingredients

96 Ritz crackers (3 sleeves)
½ lb. thinly sliced deli ham
⅓ lb. thinly sliced swiss cheese
5 tbsp. unsalted butter
2 tsp. dijon mustard
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
¼ tsp. salt
2 tsp. poppy seeds
1 tsp. dried onion flakes

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place 24 crackers flat side down in the bottom of a 13x9 baking dish. Tear the ham gently to create small strips, and gently fold a slice on top of each cracker.
Cut the cheese into 1-inch squares and place one piece on top of each piece of ham. Top each sandwich with another cracker, round side up.
Microwave butter until melted, about 45 seconds. Gently whisk in dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and salt. Pour the butter mixture evenly over the sandwiches, dividing evenly between the two pans. Sprinkle with poppy seeds and dried onion flakes.
Bake 10-12 minutes, or until cheese is melted and crackers are lightly golden brown. Serve warm.

Crockpot Apple Butter and Bourbon Meatballs

Sweet and tangy. Add hot sauce for an extra kick.

Yield: 32 meatballs

Ingredients

⅔ c. apple butter
⅔ c. barbecue sauce
½ tsp. Hot sauce (optional)
⅓ c. bourbon
2 tbsp. Chili powder
32 oz. bag of frozen, pre-cooked meatballs

Directions

Combine apple butter, barbecue sauce, hot sauce, and bourbon in a small bowl. Place meatballs in slow cooker.
Pour the apple butter and barbecue sauce mixture on top. Cook on low 2-3 hours and serve warm.

*On a time crunch? Place meatballs and sauce mixture in a saucepan and cook on medium low, stirring frequently, for 30-40 minutes or until meatballs are heated through.

Cranberry Havarti Bites

Decadent, creamy, and tangy.

Yield: 16 bites

Ingredients

Cranberry sauce, homemade or store-bought (make sure it is cranberry sauce, not cranberry jelly – you’re looking for a jam-like consistency)
One puff pastry sheet
Sliced creamy havarti, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 egg, lightly beaten
Fresh thyme, for garnish (optional)

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking tray with baking paper or a silicone mat.
Unroll the pastry, then divide it into 16 small rectangles and brush with egg wash.
Drag a knife across each rectangle of dough along the edges to create a “crust.” Place a slice of havarti in the middle.
Bake for about 10 minutes, or until golden brown.
Top each bite with cranberry sauce and a sprig of fresh thyme.

Cranberry Brie Crostini Bites

Cranberry + brie is a sophisticated holiday combo, and this recipe can be made in advance and then assembled in just minutes on party day.

Yield: 24 toasts

Ingredients

2 c. fresh cranberries
¼ c. packed brown sugar
1 orange, peeled and juiced (save the peels)
1 tsp. vanilla
1 sprig fresh rosemary, plus more for garnish
1 baguette, sliced into 24 half-inch slices
1 tbsp. olive oil
½ tsp. salt
8 oz. brie, sliced into 24 pieces

Directions

Combine cranberries, brown sugar, orange juice, orange peels, vanilla, and rosemary in a small pot. Bring the liquid to a simmer and stir frequently until sugar has dissolved. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries are falling apart and a jam-like consistency has formed, 20-25 minutes. Remove from heat and fish out orange peels and rosemary stems. If jam is too tart, add more brown sugar 1 tablespoon at a time.
Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Slice baguette into 24 half-inch slices. Brush each side with olive oil, then lay on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt. Bake 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and crisp, flipping halfway.
To assemble the bites, top each toast with a slice of brie and a tablespoon of cranberry jam. Garnish with rosemary if desired. *Jam will keep for 3-5 days in the refrigerator.

Twice Baked Potato Bites

Like a mini baked potato with all the toppings, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Yield: 12

Ingredients

12 small red and gold potatoes
2 tbsp. Cream cheese, softened
3 tbsp. Sour cream
½ c. cooked, crumbled bacon
2 tbsp. Chopped fresh chives
½ c. grated cheese of your choice
½ tsp. Salt
¼ tsp. Pepper
Olive oil

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Toss potatoes with olive oil and a sprinkle of salt. Roast 25-30 minutes or until fork tender. Cool until they can be safely handled, about 20 minutes.
Slice off just the top of each potato and scoop out the insides with a small spoon or melon baller, leaving about ⅛ inch of potato. Put the scooped out potato into a bowl.
To the same bowl, add cream cheese, sour cream, ¼ c. grated cheese, ¼ c. crumbled bacon, and 1 tbsp. chopped chives. Mash and mix until smooth.
Fill potato shells with potato mixture. Bake at 350 degrees F 15-20 minutes until heated through. Top with remaining cheese and bacon and heat 5 minutes more. Sprinkle with remaining chives.

Antipasto Skewers

These snacking skewers are like a portable charcuterie board, without the touching-something-someone-else-has-touched.

Yield: 18 skewers

Ingredients

18 6-inch wooden skewers
18 cheese tortellini cooked and cooled
¼ c. Italian salad dressing or vinaigrette
18 large black olives, pitted
18 cubes havarti cheese (about 8 oz.)
18 slices of salami or prosciutto
18 cherry or grape tomatoes
18 to 36 fresh basil leaves
18 marinated mozzarella balls

Directions

After cooking tortellini, transfer to a container with a lid, and add dressing or vinaigrette. Toss lightly. Cover and refrigerate at least 3 hours, up to overnight, to marinate.
Thread the ingredients onto the skewers in any order you’d like. A pleasing order: olive, havarti, salami or prosciutto (folded), tortellini, tomato, basil, marinated mozzarella.

Mini Bacon Ranch Cheese Balls on a Pretzel Stick

These salty, satisfying game-day snacks make a popular party app.

Yield: 30

Ingredients

12 oz. softened cream cheese
8 oz. shredded cheddar cheese
1 tbsp. Dry ranch seasoning
1 c. (about 1 lb.) cooked, finely chopped bacon
1 tbsp. Parsley
30 pretzel sticks

Directions

In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese. Add cheddar and ranch mix and beat until combined. In a small bowl, combine bacon and parsley.
Use a melon baller to scoop out a ball of the cheese mixture. Roll into a ball, then roll to coat in the parsley and bacon mixture. Repeat until all balls are made.
Place a pretzel stick in the middle of each cheese ball and serve.

How to Set Up a Self-Service Bar for Your Holiday Party

11/7/2021

Entertaining for the holidays can have you juggling many roles: chef, bartender, performer – even family mediator. Setting up a self-serve bar for your holiday party gives you more time to enjoy your guests, but it may not be as simple as you think. Here are some tips to DIY a successful self-serve bar for the holidays.

Keep the drink selection simple

As the party host, it’s up to you how many drink options you’d like to supply for your guests. You can stick to just beer and wine, add in a themed cocktail, or stock all the basics of a full bar and allow guests to create their own drinks. Here are some staples to consider:

Scotch
Vodka
Gin
Tequila
Rum
Red and white wine
Beer
Mixers like: club soda, cola, diet cola, tonic, lemon-lime soda, ginger ale, orange juice, and cranberry juice
Extras like: champagne, brandy, and pimms
Garnishes: orange peel, lime, lemon wedges, or other fruit

Pre-mix drinks

If you’d like to serve a signature cocktail hassle-free, you can pre-mix ingredients and serve them in a large beverage dispenser. To keep drinks cold without diluting them, chill ingredients thoroughly before mixing, then: add ice cubes made out of your non-alcoholic ingredients, add frozen fruit, or choose a beverage dispenser designed to keep liquids cold.

Write cocktail recipes for guests

If your guests like to be a bit more hands-on, you can provide the cocktail recipe and let guests mix their own drinks. Choose a signature cocktail or two and print the recipes on paper or cardstock, write them on a chalkboard, or even on a mirror. If a drink requires an exact measurement, be sure to have that measuring utensil available. Don’t forget to provide any garnishes.

Choose drinks that complement your theme or occasion

This is the fun part: brainstorming signature drinks to suit your party theme or occasion. Warm, rich drinks are welcome at a cozy fall or winter party. Traditional drinks like mulled wine are a festive addition to holiday parties. And fresh, fruity drinks are ideal for summer get-togethers. For ideas and inspiration, check out our list of eight signature cocktails for your next event or five fall-inspired cocktail recipes.

Purchase the right amount of alcohol for your party

Party duration, number of guests, type of alcohol, and type of party all affect how much alcohol you’ll need to purchase. This drink calculator from Evite is a great place to start.

Have supplies readily available

The supplies you’ll need depend on the complexity of your drink offerings. Even the most basic self-serve bar will need:

Glassware or cups
Corkscrew (if serving wine)
Cocktail napkins
Bar towel
Ice (and a serving utensil)
Trash can

Other supplies to consider include:

Jigger (measuring glass)
Shaker
Fruit and garnishes (pre-cut)
Drink stirrers
Cocktail shaker
Strainer
Champagne flutes
Short and tall glasses
Wine glasses
Stemmed cocktail glasses

eep your guests (and yourself) safe

With a self-serve bar, you won’t be able to keep track of how much alcohol each guest consumes. Look for signs of intoxication (loud speech, slurred speech, stumbling, rude behavior, etc.) and discourage any guests you suspect to be impaired from driving. Be ready to call ride services, offer a room for the night, or even to call police if things escalate. Check your local and state laws: As party host, you may be held responsible for the actions of impaired guests, even after they’ve left your property.

Sound like a lot? With some planning and drink prep, anyone can provide their own self-serve bar this holiday season. But if you’re short on time or just don’t feel ready, you can book all of these services with On the Rocks.

You’ll get a consultation with us to discuss drink ideas, how much alcohol you’ll need to purchase, and delivery coordination. On the day of your event, our TIPS-certified bartenders – trained in safe service and preventing drunk driving and underage intoxication – will serve your guests, so you can be worry free.

Holidays 2021 - To Party or Not to Party?

10/29/2021

It’s been over a year now……

It’s been well over a year of pivoting schedules, canceling plans, and re-imagining how we work and play in this new world of Covid-19. Last year, at this time, the decision of whether or not to hold a holiday party was simple -- no one did. In fact - in many parts of the country, we were under strict lockdown orders, and couldn’t have gathered together if we wanted to.

The landscape might look a bit different this year, but overall, the looming question remains the same. Is it safe to host a holiday party this winter, 2021? We might be more open, but with covid variants top of mind for many business owners and corporations, many are asking the question - should we hold a holiday party for our employees and teams?

A Case for the Party

Many business leaders are looking for ways to celebrate and honor their employees for “sticking it out and surviving” the pandemic. Bringing people together in celebration is a great way to boost morale and to thank everyone for a job well done.

People are ready to step away from the Zoom camera and to get out and mingle. They are yearning for some human interaction.

A Case for Caution

As exciting as getting back to normal and back together sounds, celebrating cautiously is probably the smarter way to go.

Planning celebrations in smaller groups, or with hybrid event plans would be prudent. People could still have the feel of gathering together but in smaller and safer numbers. Larger corporations can plan hybrid events with smaller groups connecting via satellite all together to honor local number restrictions and stay safe at the same time.

Safety tips for Celebrating

If you do choose to host a holiday celebration with your work crew, we suggest the following Covid Safe planning tips:

1. Remember that Sanitation is TOP priority.

Many venues are required to follow strict safety guidelines. Make sure you are communicating these guidelines and rules to your guests.

Plan on providing extra masks, extra sanitizer, and extra space for your guests as well.

2. Skip the buffet and other congestive serving mechanisms.

People don’t really want to grab an appetizer off of a tray in a room of thousands of people - nor should they!

Stay away from champagne towers, punch bowls, and buffet lines. Replace these with chef serving stations, hip vending machines, and pre-packaged or individually-boxed food experiences.

Food trucks are very popular -- why not hire a few of these to cater your team’s holiday celebration?

3. Think outside the box -- THINK OUTSIDE

Don’t plan your typical office holiday party.

How about a Scavenger Hunt that takes your staff on a trip around town?

Plan a round of “golf” at one of the Top Golf locations in Northern Colorado.

Feeling altruistic? Set up a day of volunteering and give back to the community with your crew.

Perhaps even give your entire staff an extra day off to spend any way they please.

When it comes to celebrating the holidays - there are no said rules -- you can make it up as you go, and thanks to Covid, you have an excuse to “shake things up” a bit!

Whatever you do - RESEARCH & COMMUNICATE

Whatever route you decide to do, it is important that you do two things --

Research and Communicate

It will be up to you to know and follow all of the local, state, and federal rules and precautions. Some of these may impact events. Make sure you are following best practices. It would be bad form to host a party that turns out to be a super spreader - that would not be something to celebrate.

Communicating your company’s Covid-19’s response and preparedness is vital, too. Not only with the vendors and venue you choose to use for your celebration, but with your employees, too. Let them know what your expectations are for the event, and the steps your organization will be taking to keep them safe.

New Fort Collins Old Town Bar & Restaurant Scene

9/9/2020

There might be a global pandemic wreaking havoc on economies world wide, but that isn’t stopping the growth and progress in Old Town Fort Collins. As restaurants and bars start the reopening process, there are four new establishments ready to jump into the mix. We’ve pooled together a list of the new Old Town bars and restaurants that you are going to want to make plans to check out once the pandemic is a thing of the past!

The Bar District

Located in what was once local favorite, The Drunken Monkey, The Bar District is a new entertainment concept that brings together four bars under one roof. Three of the bars are open concept - one a sports bar, another for cocktails and frozen drinks, and the third specializes in liquor infusions. A fourth bar is available to be rented out for private parties.
The newly renovated facility boasts of a stage, a dance floor, and an extensive patio - great for smaller covid-capacity numbers!

Brothers Bar & Grill

A Midwest chain that has taken over the former Old Chicago’s building, Brothers Bar & Grill serves tasty casual American cuisine in a party atmosphere!
After acquiring the building, chain owners got to work completely gutting and remodeling it into a space of their own. They added handmade woodworking elements to give the facility a new bar and English pub feel.

This neighborhood bar concept hosts daily drink specials, complete with personal pitchers of alcoholic concoctions.They also serve their famous $2 cheeseburger special on Tuesdays.
Brothers Bar & Grill offers Covid-Safe dining options with two patios - front and back of the house. Make plans to join your bros for drinks and eats here soon!

Rove & Element

This dual concept entertainment venue consists of an “elevated lunch and dinner restaurant” and an upscale nightclub and dance floor.
Located in what was formerly The Mainline, Rove & Element offer entertaining options for multiple fancies. The lower floor hosts Rove - a restaurant offering American style cuisine and drinks. Element is located upstairs. Element seeks to attract a more mature and sophisticated crowd, by offering VIP areas and bottle service.
This new venue will allow guests to make an evening of it, with both dinner and dancing!

Penrose Taphouse & Eatery

The newest business to open at The Exchange in Old Town is Penrose Taphouse & Eatery. Owned by the same group as DC Oakes, a brewery in south Fort Collins, Penrose Taphouse & Eatery sits on the south side of The Exchange. They offer a Colorado-inspired menu, DC Oakes brews, and a rotation of other local breweries.

Penrose Taphouse & Eatery is named after one of Colorado’s most well-known entrepreneurs, philanthropists, and historical figures - Spencer Penrose. The owners have tried to capture his spirit, work ethic, and sense of community in their facility.
Their location at The Exchange is perfect for patio Covid-Safe dining. They offer two patio options, and many family-friendly dining options and specials. This makes Penrose the perfect spot for a date night dinner or fun family outing!

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation Drinking Game!

11/27/2017

Back by popular demand!

When the holidays draw near, do you feel the need to reach for a beer?
The relatives are in town, and you are putting in your time with the family...

Well, spike that egg nog, Sparky, grab your favorite moose mug, and play My Big Day's "Christmas Vacation Drinking Game!"

What you will need for this game: an beer, eggnog, wine, or your drink of choice, a santa hat & a single shot of your choice (perhaps a lime jello shot topped with cat food).

My Big Day Drinking Rules:

Take One Drink Every Time...

Ellen calls Clark "Sparky"
Someone is wearing an ugly holiday sweater
There is singing or bells shaking
The swimming pool is referenced
Clark is wearing a sports team article of clothing

Additional Rules:

The entire group takes a drink whenever an advent calendar door is opened.

You must yell “Shitter’s Full!” any time you leave to use the restroom, otherwise you must finish your beer when you return.

The first person to say “Get me somebody! And get me somebody while I'm waiting!” when Frank Shirley appears on screen for the first time chooses a person to finish their drink.

The first person to stand up & fully complete the “knock on the door, peek in…” correctly WITH hand gestures during that scene gives two drinks.

At any point in the movie, you can point to someone & yell "RUSS!" If they do not respond with "Right here, dad" they must take a drink (max once per person, this could get out of control).

Anytime someone misquotes a line in the movie, they have to wear the Santa hat until it gets passed to the next person.
When the movie is over, the last person wearing the Santa hat has to shotgun a beer & finish by saying “Ahh, It’s good, It’s good. It’s good.”

Download the game & print if off to play at home!
