From Drinksgiving to the classic holiday party, everyone seems to have a glass in their hand. Instead of trying to balance a plate and a glass, charcuterie drink toppers are the fun, festive way to keep everything balanced during the event.

Many people love a good hack. From the ultimate food find to the genius idea that someone put on everyone’s radar, these concepts are often simple, easy to understand, and adaptable. While the complicated, intricate concepts might delight the eye, the normal person cannot apply those ideas in the real world.

Charcuterie drink toppers are the simple, easy idea that anyone and everyone can appreciate. Easily nestled in the lip of a glass, the little board contains all the favorite nibbles. From cheeses to cured meats to even some olives, it is better than a single garnish in a glass.

To create this idea, party hosts could have a display on a buffet table with little serving plates. One concept is to create a few ideas that pair with various wines. For example, a simple tomato and mozzarella skewer with a pinot grigio or a variety of smoked meats with a cabernet sauvignon are tasty ideas. Just like pairing flavors on a board or on a plate, the concept applies on a small scale.

Also, party hosts can allow guests to create their own charcuterie drinker toppers. Guests can choose their favorites from the boards and use the little serving dishes. It can be a conversation starter during the party.
