What to Serve at Your Next Mad Men Watch Party

Set in 1960s New York, Mad Men follows the cutthroat ambition of young professionals during a pivotal moment for Madison Avenue advertising. On the cusp of 1950s conservatism and the social upheaval of the '60s, their ruthless pursuit of success and pleasure unfolds in the glamorized haze of cigarettes and a martini-induced fog.

Welcome the show's third season with this '60s-inspired cocktail party. Naturally, we start with drinks—mod nods to the kind of classics the cast habitually downs. The food is a postmodern pupu platter à la Betty Draper: jazzed-up coconut shrimp, updated pigs in blankets with chicken sausage, and a new spin on rumaki.
