Depends on whether it is a true cocktail party with several guests coming, or just one or two couples.
For a small group, for drinks we usually have some beer, some wine, sometimes make margaritas and always have assorted Pepsi/Coke. For snacking, we usually have some fresh assorted nuts (a tin from Walgreens or Walmart), some grapes or strawberries, some chips and salsa, M&Ms, orange slices, and maybe some popcorn. If a larger group, we add to the above.... sliced beef log, assorted cheeses, crackers. Sometimes I make guacamole and chips if we're serving margaritas. I will occasionally make deviled eggs. Oh, and I make a plate of brownies or cookies

Gracie,
I didn't realize that you called it pop in Ohio. I thought it was a western New York thing.

It's a Midwest thing. Michigan calls it pop also.

When I was a kid in New England they called all soda Tonic. You would see signs "Tonic and Grinders" ie soda and subs.

We always laughed when someone would ask for soda, we thought they wanted soda water. If they say pop, we say what kind.

We're non drinkers also. We have our friends trained so they bring their own drinks, they are happy to do so. We supply cheese, crax, fruit, veggies and dips. It's a beautiful thing!

It was pop in the Midwest (Kansas). Here in Georgia it is soda.

We make a recipe that we learned from you wonderful folks! Google "Holiday Bourbon Whiskey Meatballs." They are so easy and delicious! I keep some in the freezer. If I have more time, I serve homemade roasted red peppers, eggplant caponata, asiago cheese and good crusty bread. Bob's favorite is an appetizer from our friend's wedding 20 years ago. Toasted thin slices of ital or French bread topped with a thin slice of grilled chicken, roasted red pepper, a basil (or spinach) leaf and fresh mozzarella. Heat in the oven and serve. People devour them.

caprese appetizer: One sheet of puff pastry (or two for a crowd). Cut into pieces the size you want. On each piece place a slice of roma tomato, put some basil on the tomato, drizzle a few drops of balsamic vinegar (optional), top with slice or cube of fresh mozzarella. Bake at 425 for 12-15 minutes.
I sometimes also put a slice of pepperoni under the tomato.

I'm not sure but some of the liquor stores in Florida would have it. I only brought down from up north what I got from new hampshire's liquor stores. I've bought stuff from Pusser's on line store which I believes ships stuff out of south florida. Their website may actually list where their rum is sold. If you can't find it any blended dark rum can substitute. I actually hate to say there is a alternate for Pussers
