Signature Drinks - More

Signature drinks are truly running their course as a wedding and event trend. Brides and clients are incorporating these into their bar setups at their weddings and other social events. However, I am always asked what recipes are used and how they can be personalized. I've come across some fun, and tasty sounding might I add, recipes to incorporate into your special event. It's fun to personalized by color, but you could also give them a name that represents the two or group of you in some way. I know that figuring out what you drink you want is daunting, so get some mixers together, invite the girls over and have a signature drink party! The first one I made up this past weekend and called it .............

SOME SHAY......(ha)

"some" peach bacardi

Green Peace, Sweet drink for the summer:

1/2 oz. vodka

1/2 oz. dry vermouth

1/2 oz. pisang ambon- a Dutch liqueur

Get to mixing and enjoy all of these recipes!

**Give each of these drinks a personalized name. Maybe from a special date, your honeymoon location, or a hobby you two like to do together.

Signature Drinks

Peaceful Pieces is a topic that I like to discuss and figured I'd share with people! We want to showcase fun recipes that you can use for yourself or feature at your wedding. Open bars are a trend at so many weddings, but a lot of brides can't afford to keep a full bar open during their whole reception. So, as an alternative and create a lounge like feel, brides and social clients are featuring signature drinks instead of stocking a full bar. Guests can pick these up as they are butler passed as they walk into your reception. The signature drinks are a favorite of theirs or a drink that matches the colors of their wedding. Here's a fun recipe, if you love champagne, for pomegranate champagne. This drink would be easy to modify for each wedding with a different type of fruit juice for color.



Cocktail Pomegranate Champagne:

1 1/4 cups fresh pomegranate juice (from 3 pomegranates) chilled

1 1/2 ounces Cointreau liqueur, chilled

1 bottle Champagne, chilled

Fresh pomegranate seeds, for dressing.
