“Vodka, caviar, blinis, pickled beet eggs, a retro shrimp salad…celebrate like the Russians do, in style” — Paul Ebeling

New Year’s Eve is a drinking party not a dinner party with lots to eat. On New Year’s Eve in Russia, the table is covered with a wonderful display of food including tart pickles, bread, salads, caviar and more.

Shots of icy vodka are poured, properly toasted, gleefully downed, and chased with a fortifying snack.

Toast, Drink, Eat Repeat! There no more symbolic or festive way to mark the rolling of the old year into the New Year.

Drink Like a Russian

1. If you want to drink lots of vodka, you must eat lots of food. Fill out the spread with sliced bread, try challah, rye, or lepyoshka flatbread, butter, and a mix of pickles. Eat and drink in tandem during the night.

2. Freeze your vodka. Bring out the bottle only to pour into small pitchers or shot glasses before each toast.

3. All you need are shot glasses. Responsible host trick: Get the smallest ones you can.

4. The toasts, maintain the rhythm: After a heartfelt toast, everyone raises their glasses and drinks. Then comes eating, then the process repeats. No drinking without toasts, and no drinking between toasts!

5. Use affordable vodka for infusing; pour the good stuff (try Russian Standard) straight.

Serving caviar with style

➤ Diversify. Caviar refers only to sturgeon eggs. There’s a range of tasty, affordable fish eggs, or roe. Get 2–3 oz. per person.

➤ Mother-of-pearl spoons are the gold standard for serving, avoid silver or steel.

➤ To go luxe, set out blinis, challah, chopped chives, sieved hard-boiled egg yolks, and cultured butter or crème fraîche. For a casual setup, put out butter, white bread, and roe.

➤ Crushed ice makes for a nice presentation, but it is not strictly necessary.

➤ Pickled beets give the puréed filling in these eggs a welcome tang that contrasts wonderfully with all the richly flavored dishes on the table. When making these, save the hard-boiled egg yolks for your caviar accoutrements.
