We\u2019re throwing a 22 person Friendsgiving on Sunday and it\u2019s going to be NUTS. I mean, can I even fit that many people into my house? We\u2019ll find out! This year I was all about delegating. I\u2019m handling the turkey, gravy, stuffing and a Spritz Bar\u2026 everything else is on everyone else!<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

So here\u2019s the situation – when there are THAT many people coming over, everything needs to be prepped ahead of time. There needs to be an appetizer station, the main courses need to be prepped and in the oven by the time guests arrive and the cocktail situation needs to be FAR away from the kitchen so people can make their own drinks and not get in the way of anything going in\/out of the oven. And my favorite way to do a cocktail station is a Spritz Bar! It\u2019s everything you need to make your own spritz. There\u2019s an assortment of hard alcohol, plenty of fresh fruit, herbs for garnish and the most important ingredient because it\u2019s what actually gives the spritz flavor\u2026 IZZE! (also side note I\u2019m obsessed with all the sparkling IZZE products so when they asked if I wanted to team up to do some recipes this month it was a no-brainer!)\u00a0 <\/span>The juices are my jam because it\u2019s a combo of juice AND sparkling water which is what makes a spritz a spritz in the first place. And who doesn\u2019t love some bubbles this time of year!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

Below you\u2019ll find the 4 flavors I\u2019m going for and hopefully they\u2019ll inspire some gorgeous creations on your end! Once you\u2019ve got all the ingredients prepped and ready to go, just lay everything out on a bar or countertop and let your guests do their thing! And if anyone is bored on Sunday, come hang on insta-live. I\u2019ll show you the whole Friendsgiving feast!<\/span><\/p>\n
