Signature Cocktails
By Wedeqtory Directory - Posted on Tuesday, July 09, 2019Cocktails are fabulous.
Nothing says a wedding more than enjoying a fantastic drink or two celebrating the love and union of two great friends. And nothing else says ‘fabulous drinks’ like cocktails!
Most people will offer guests an assortment of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks at their wedding. Some may even decide on a dry wedding, either for religious purposes, because the couple don’t drink much (or at all) themselves or they have that family member who turns into a nightmare when they get a few drinks into them. Nevertheless, a cocktail or two is a fantastic way to get your celebration under way and ensure your guests have a great time. Even mocktails can set the tone of the celebration.
What cocktails should I serve?
This could vary depending on the location of your wedding and reception.
If at a beach or outdoor setting, jugs of cocktails are an easy and great way to start the celebration. They can be easily poured out to your guests, are more cost-effective but also easier for the bar staff to make and serve.
If at a restaurant or a bar, you can go all out and opt for more ornate cocktails that are made to order. These usually take longer to make that other drinks so take that into consideration when planning your day.
Cocktails can be made to team with the theme of your wedding via a particular colour, or even a country e.g. Japan: a fruity cocktail made with yuzu juice; Italy: a spritz cocktail (prosecco or other sparkling wine with a fruit or bitter liqueur base - Aperol spritz are hot right now); Brazil: Caipirinhas, Mojitos or anything with white rum and fresh fruit juice. If having a beach wedding, try serving Piña Coladas. If having a winter wedding you could serve a rum and hot chocolate, or even mulled wine if it is cold enough.
