Skip the open bar, this year at your wedding – by upgrading your cocktails and making your alcohol service truly personal. This personal touch to a wedding day is as simple as offering a unique libation special to the bride and groom. This “signature cocktail” should reflect the season, the setting or the couple, themselves. Show-stopping cocktails custom-fit for your special event will add another layer of memories for you and your guests. Here are some things to consider as you choose a custom cocktail:
- Consider the theme of the wedding—your setting, your cuisine, the décor
- Consider your flavor preferences, from syrups to spirits to craft beers
- This drink can be saved for a toast or served all evening long.
- Sparkling wine-based cocktails can be created for much less than a full-service bar and with the right garnish can be downright dreamy!
- Choose flavors that suit the time of year (mint, lemon, hot tea, mulled wine, whiskey cocktails, margaritas)
- Add a special garnish to ensure that your cocktail is the backdrop for photo opportunities (mint sprig, lavender blossoms, an orange rind, a candy cane, a purple orchid, a candy kiss)
