I’m very detail-oriented, so I love adding that extra special little touch. A little personalization goes a long way. A new trend that I have witnessed among weddings is the idea of a signature cocktail. A signature drink can serve to enhance your wedding theme, colors, and even compliment the bride and groom as a couple. Our venue is very accommodating to the types of drinks and alcohol we want offered at our reception, but it is always a good idea to check with your venue to verify the option of providing a signature cocktail. Some event venue bars are not equipped with knowledgeable bartenders that will be able to accurately make the signature drink, and some venues will not accommodate special requests.
Think a signature cocktail is right for you? How do you choose one?
- You may be surprised to find that you may already have a signature cocktail or drink. Think back to the last time you went to dinner together. Do you like to order the same drink over and over again?
- Color -- Unlike flowers, almost any color can be recreated in liquid form.
- Liquor -- What is your favorite spirit? Use that as a base for the drink.
- Always offer a non-alcoholic version of the signature drink for children are guests who do not drink.
- Personalize it! Change the name to something that relates to you as a couple or after a place that is meaningful in your relationship.
Are you a free-spirited couple? Offering a signature drink is a fun idea that breaks the mold of traditional wedding receptions. Even your signature drink can be non-traditional. Make up your own recipe (try it first!) or use a lesser-known recipe.
My Choice:
The Purple People Eater
2 oz Grape Vodka
