These recipes for an appetizer and cocktail are quick and easy to make, and I’m sure they’ll make a great addition to your special celebration. This pair is an ideal way to toast to the new year. Everyone will like the contrast of puff pastry with tuna salad, creating the perfect appetizer for whatever dinner and it’s great with this cranberry sparkling cocktail. This recipe is very inexpensive, since the filling for the baskets is made with tuna. However, I do like adding shrimp as garnish.
