Looking for ways to add a personal touch to your wedding? Try adding a ‘bride’ and ‘groom’ signature cocktail to your bar menu. Signature beverages can set the tone of your wedding just as much as the reception decor, music, and food. A beverage for each, the bride and groom can be selected, or it can be a combined effort, offering the ‘newlyweds’ cocktail of choice.
Date Night
Choosing a signature cocktail maybe easier for some than others. If you don’t have a go-to beverage, make it a date night prior to the wedding and concoct some recipes together. This gives you a chance to decide if you’d like one or two signature beverages.
Choosing A Recipe
There are SO many choices of recipes to choose from. Depending on the time of year, your preference of alcohol and mix, as well as the vibe you’d like to set, your signature cocktail choice can help set the tone. Below is a DELICIOUS cocktail recipe that would complement a warm, sunny summer wedding.
Cheers in finding your signature cocktail(s)!
