Summer Fun

We know, we know it's still technically spring and the year has been rushing by but we're always excited for the wedding and party season and June is just around the corner! Colette's is ready for your graduation celebrations, father's day BBQs, summer soirees and of course fabulous weddings. And in keeping with the festive mood of summer entertaining we're introducing some delicious menu items that are light and crisp for those hot summer parties.

Try our new crab and avocado salad atop a crisp watermelon medellion or chilled avocado soup shooters
Add a grilled peach and goat cheese salad with blackberries and lemon vinaigrette for a fresh taste for your menu
And fish tacos can be served up by our chefs as an entree or try them mini for a fun and unexpected appetizer that will wow your guests.

For dessert try our Cake Goddessess' newest creation; Avocado Panna cotta (clearly we've fallen head over heels with avocado)
We didn't forget about the drinks either, signature cocktails anyone?
We can't wait to serve Hibiscus Margaritas, and Apple Sage Coolers made from apple pie moonshine. yum!

Shot, shots, shots!

Even though we're well out of college we just cant get enough shots at our parties. So there not exactly the same shots from back then, but they still make for a great party. Whether tray passed or set up as a fabulous station, your favorite foods served in shot glasses are a great addition to any event your hosting.
They can be served as appetizers during cocktail hour, a late night snack towards the end of your event or consider having a "shots" party and try them all!         
  
Starting with breakfast we're serving up "shots" of  french toast and maple syrup, and shots of espresso with mini doughnuts 
Add a chic mimosa bar and you've got yourself a truly fabulous brunch.

For those hot summer days around the corner we're serving chilled ''shots'' of veggie crudites and dips, fresh avocado and shrimp ceviche, and cold summer soups like our spicy gazpacho, kiwi and cucumber, and strawberry basil soup shooters.
And a more literal shot option are these bloody mary shots served with bacon wrapped scallops on bamboo skewers
 

 For a warmer treat its another appearance from our favorites; The Grilled Cheese served with creamy tomato soup, and from  
The Potato served as a fry with ketchup.


And we didn't forget about dessert either...
 Try a deconstructed cupcake with a thin layer of ganache on the bottom it's a sweet surprise for your guests. Or try a shot of milk with a chocolate chip cookie it's the perfect pick me up.




So put away the plates because we're taking shots!
