Start Signature Wedding Drinks with your wedding theme

You can choose a colour that coordinates with your wedding theme,or wedding dresses or flowers.If yours is a country wedding, fully equipped apples and gingham, make yours a green apple sour with real apple slices,or apple blackberry. Perhaps it is a tropical wedding–serve Blue Hawaiians garnished with fresh pineapple and rimmed with coconut. OrGarnish your wedding signature co*cktails with those fun watercolor-flag drink stirrers.

Season inspired

A summer wedding might try lemonade as a starting place. Another idea is to create a frozen slush, you can use your favoritefruits such as watermelon cooler slushies (image below )perfect for hot summer weddings. The idea is to think outside the box! Fall brings to mind peaches, apples, pears and other fruit. Fabulous idea that you can try aspiced apple cider champagne co*cktail ( image below ). Also, pumpkin, cloves, nutmeg and other spices might be ideas for weddings around the October and November time frame. Mint, candy cane and chocolate might be appropriate around the winter holiday time.

Pick a base spirit

The next step is to pick a base spirit. This can be literally anything. Most couples have their favorites and choose among them but be sure that it is not something that your guests will object to. Part of the fun of offering your signature drink to your guests is that you know them and probably know some of their preferences.

Serve it in a unique glass

A way to create a memorable experience for your guests, serve it in a unique glass; something that is different than the other drinks that you are offering. I have a perfect sample that I found this idea, photographed by Alders Photographyviastyle me pretty and I’m absolutelyfalling head over heels in love with this adorable “perfect chemistry” themed bridal shower! Serve signature drinks in the beakers andtest tubes just put it over the top.How sweet! Ilove the creative theme and how they carried it through everything!

Once you have finalized your signature drink, write a story about it to make it personal. Tell about how you choose the ingredients or theme. Tell them about your taste testing and experimenting. Include the recipe so your guests can reproduce it at home.

Finally, a signature drink can save a lot of money. First, if it is your only alcoholic drink you can save the cost of an open bar. If it is simple or if it can be mixed ahead of time, you can save by having a less experienced (think less expensive) bar tender! Also, use the “well” or house spirits to avoid the cost of premium bottles. It is also likely that the venue will be able to offer a signature drink at a less costly price, as it requires less set-up time for the bartender.
