New Year's Eve is upon us and it is time to break out our best appetizers and cocktails for the celebration. Growing up in Hawaii, New Year's was a time for special pupus. We always had some form of fresh ahi tuna, usually sashimi or poke, or both. An article in the Honolulu Advertiser described a list of Hawaiian New Year's food traditions and at the top of the list was ahi. As the author succinctly put it, "If there is no ahi on the table, it is not New Year's."

Here is a collection of some of my favorite appetizers, including two must-have ahi recipes as well as a few festive cocktails to help you celebrate.
