When I serve appetizers, I like them bold, spicy, and full of flavor so that people get excited for the meal to come. Indian appetizers are perfect for this.

For this list, I’ve tried to include dishes for those who like a lot of heat and those who prefer things a little milder....

Made with the classic French liqueur, they’re the perfect way to enjoy its signature orange flavor. Grand Marnier was invented in 1880 and since then, the popular liqueur has expanded its line, adding cherry and raspberry peach flavors to the original orange. Similar to Cointreau or triple sec, it’s a favorite among cocktail connoisseurs for its subtle but sweet taste.

Pomegranates have a very bold flavor that can be sweet or sour, depending on when you get them. But mostly, they’re like cranberries in that they have a balance of sweet and tart taste.

They’re also more flavorful because each sliver gets an even coating of dressing. The concept is so foolproof, that you can put together whatever salad ingredients and dressing come to mind, and it’ll be a success....
