Hey party-lovers, I'm bringing you 12 Vegan Drinks & Eats For Your Next Party! All of these recipes are tested crowd-pleasers. You'll find lots of snacks, cocktails and even a few recipes that you can cook a huge batch of to make sure every guest is fed and happy.
I love having parties and get-togethers! In my opinion, that's the best way to show how amazing & delicious vegan food can be and get people interested in veganism.
Whenever I have friends over I feel like I'm totally in my element and whip up one food after another. I always prepare a few dishes, that can be easily reheated, in advance so I have the time for my friends and I don't have to be in the kitchen all night long. My parties usually consist of four parts:
- snacks (crackers!) and finger foods,
- dishes that I make in bulk and that are super easy to reheat (people can get those whenever they feel hungry),
- some sweet pretty eats and
- some cool drinks (of course!)
When the people I love are happy and well-fed, I'm happy too ^.^
Snacks and Fingerfood
CRACKERS CRACKERS CRACKERS ... do I have to say more? Spinach & Sesame Crackers
More crackers! These Whole Wheat Seed Crackers are so good and super crunchy!
These Vegan Poppy Seed Crackers contain Nutritional Yeast to give them a cheesy flavor.
These Wild Garlic Pesto Snails are easy to make, if you use a store-bought pastry dough like I did, and they look so cute! Oh.. and they're very garlic-y and delicious.
Of course, we can't serve these crackers without a dip! My dip of choice is a Homemade Hummus with Parsley. You can also serve some carrot or celery sticks with it.
These Soba Noodles Summer Rolls are great for parties because you can prepare them in advance, they're finger food and you can dip those in a super creamy & delicious peanut butter dip! Yumm!
Food that you can make in bulk
Chili is a classic for parties. I love it because you make a huuuge portion, keep it in a big pot on low heat and everyone can get a portion whenever they feel hungry.
Curries are also ideal for parties. It's easy to make a huge portion and they are super filling - like this Palak Tofu. It's also gluten-free!
This Falafel Curry, which is also gluten-free, is perfect for parties as well! Fusion Kitchen is the best.
Pretty Sweet Eats
For something sweet in between those savory snacks and dishes, I love to serve these cute Apple Roses!
Awesome-looking Drinks
We had these Watermelon Amaretto Bowls at a party recently and served them as welcome drinks! Everyone loved those - they are super tasty!
Drinks in cool bowls (especially fruit bowls) are so neat looking and they taste better when the presentation is right ;)! They are always a great hit - like this Pineapple Coconut Cocktail.

Those yummy little crackers look so great!
Bianca says
Yeay! Thanks Rebecca :) Crackers are one of my all-time favorite recipes for parties :)
Audrey @ Unconventional Baker says
Bianca, I'm eagerly awaiting my invite to your next party ;) Please make extra of everything, most especially those apple roses and wild garlic snails -- I've got my eye on those :D
Bianca says
Awww, Audrey! That would be such a blast. It's too bad we don't live closer. I can't wait for wild garlic season again to make the pesto & snails. Yummy :)
Alice@Aliciouslog says
YUM! All of those dishes look so good! I love how you can prepare some of them in advance. I always forget about making things beforehand and then spend half of the party in the kitchen - but since it's an open kitchen/ dining room/ living room area I'm still in the middle of everything.
Also: There's no great party without chili!
Bianca says
Thank you so much Alice! I'm so glad you like the post. I'm usually cleaning the apartment the whole day before having guests so I like to make meals that prepare practically themselves like the chili. I like my open kitchen too - this way I can spend all day in the kitchen without being alone :)
Leigh-Anne says
What amazing ideas! So good, I've been looking for healthier party food :)
Bianca says
Yeay! So glad you like it Leigh-Anne. Let me know if you try some of the recipes out :)
Melissa @ vegan does it says
All of these look amazing! The garlic snails are just about the cutest thing I've seen and I'm loving anything with pineapple right now so the pineapple coconut cocktail sounds heavenly!
Bianca says
Awww, thanks Melissa! I'm so looking forward to wild garlic season already so I can make the pesto for the snails again :)
Kim Didion says
I hate giving parties because of all the planning involved so I give one every few years but I'm turning 18 in less than a month and it is sort of expected of me to give one.
Thank you very much for those recipes. At least now I have a few ideas because my last party was three years ago and I had just gone vegan so the food was still on an experimental base.
Most people are probably going to drink beer anyway so I won't bother with fancy drinks
Bianca says
You're very welcome! Have a great birthday party! :)
