If you enjoyed the new format with the 50’s party this Sunday, I’ve thought of a way to do the same thing for next Sunday.
Last year it was German Weekend.
You may also of purchased Requium for a dream.
(If not noticed free versions on google, I just can’t put the link but doesn’t stop you using it.)
The idea then is to have a film on Sunday with a drinks and a food sugestion or two.
This can be saved in Pinterest as I have an empty calendar.
Food suggestions for this Sunday:
In German, an aperitif is often called an “Aperitif.” Popular German aperitifs include Kirschwasser (a clear cherry brandy), and herbal liqueurs like Jägermeister and Underberg. Anna Famosa, a peach and rose flavored liqueur, is also gaining popularity as a German aperitif.
For an aperitif to complement German canapes, consider a crisp white wine, a refreshing spritzer with a German liqueur like Jägermeister, or a classic Kir Royale. The Mixer US suggests the Kir Royale, a Champagne cocktail with cherry liqueur, as a good option. If you prefer something non-alcoholic, a sparkling water with a splash of fruit juice or a non-alcoholic German beer like Radler could also be suitable.
Aperitif Options:
Kir Royale:A Champagne cocktail with cherry liqueur. This pairing offers a touch of sweetness and fruitiness that complements the often savory nature of canapes.
(We got some Cherry liqueur just need the champagne or Prosecco.)
Kirschwasser, or kirsch, is a clear, colorless brandy traditionally made from the double distillation of morello cherries, a dark-colored cultivar of the sour cherry. To make a Kirsch Royale, add 0.5 oz kirsch and 1 oz cherry syrup to a Champagne flute. Top off with 3 oz of Champagne or Prosecco, garnish with a maraschino cherry if desired, and serve.
Description
Smooth, warming and bursting with intense cherry flavours, this fruity liqueur is as good poured over ice and sipped on its own as it is used in classic cocktails, like a Singapore Sling. Its sweet, tangy flavour works a treat in desserts, too – try adding a splash to fruit crumbles.

(Will let you know how we do as usual)
Aperol Spritz:This Italian aperitif is a popular choice due to its refreshing citrus and bitter flavors.
German Liqueur Spritzer:Mix a German liqueur like Jägermeister or Killepitsch with sparkling water or tonic water for a unique and flavorful aperitif.
Crisp White Wine:German Riesling or other dry white wines are excellent choices for complementing canapes, offering acidity and fruitiness.

Radler:A German beer mixed with lemonade, offering a refreshing and lighter alternative.
Non-Alcoholic Options:Sparkling water with fruit juice or a non-alcoholic German beer are also good options for those who prefer not to drink alcohol.
Tips for Choosing:
Consider the ingredients of the canapes when choosing an aperitif. For example, a spicier canape might pair well with a bolder spirit like Jägermeister, while a more delicate canape might be better paired with a lighter white wine or sparkling beverage.
Don’t be afraid to experiment! The best aperitif is the one that you and your guests enjoy the most.
Film Suggestion For Sunday
Sara, a widow who lives a retired life, develops an obsession to lose weight and starts taking pills. However, she gets addicted to the medication and it takes a toll on her mental health.
Film to Purchase or rent off You Tube
The film depicts four characters affected by drug addiction and how it alters their physical and emotional states. Their addictions cause them to become imprisoned in a world of delusion and desperation. As the film progresses, each character deteriorates, and their delusions are shattered by the harsh reality of their situations, resulting in catastrophe.
