Easy Melbourne Cup Menu Ideas

Whether you’re looking for themed Melbourne Cup food or easy canapés to bring to a party, sparkling water may be the secret you’ve been waiting for:

Light and Fluffy Waffles with Fried Chicken

Pay homage to the United States’ biggest race and delight your guests with fluffy waffles and crispy fried chicken. Billi’s sparkling water adds lightness to the waffle batter, creating a crisp and airy texture that contrasts perfectly with the savoury chicken for an American.

Blinis with Smoked Salmon

It wouldn’t be an Australian party without seafood, and blinis are one of those rare low-effort, high fanciness dishes that are perfect last minute. Create delicate blinis using Billi’s sparkling water, which helps achieve a light and tender texture that doesn’t distract from the luxurious toppings. Topped with smoked salmon, cream cheese, and dill, these bites deliver a refined and sophisticated flavour that is sure to impress.

We can all picture a horse biting a carrot or apple, a themed carrot cake adds a perfect sweet touch to your celebration. Using Billi’s filtered sparkling water will help give your cakes a light and tender crumb, helping them stay moist and delicious.
