Signature Drinks that Your Guests Will Love

When planning your wedding reception, there are multiple options for how to handle the alcohol. Whether it’s going to be an open bar, just beer and wine, or drink tickets, you might want to add some spirits to your wedding. This is where we would suggest a signature cocktail for your big day. It saves lines at the bar, and extra alcohol costs, but still allows for some alcohol options at the event. We rounded up some fun ideas for signature cocktails that your guests are sure to love!

How to Pick Your Drink

When picking your signature cocktail, put your personal spin on the decision making. Whether it’s paying tribute to the location or an inside joke from your first date, make it something fun. Many people like to pick local flavors to make it special to the wedding venue and also have everything locally sourced and fresh. Others make their drink based on something the couple likes to do together or a fun memory. This makes it a great story when explaining to guests the signature drink as well.

Cocktail Name Ideas

Even if it’s a drink that is very well known, such as a margarita, put a fun spin on naming your wedding drink. One idea we love is incorporating your fur babies into the mix by naming your drink after them. You can also incorporate your new combined last name as well. There are so many fun ideas to make the drink memorable, so put on your creative hats when coming up with the drink menu.

Cocktail Ideas

Picking a drink that a lot of your guests will enjoy can be difficult. One thing to keep in mind is that it is something the bride and groom will enjoy, since it’s something to add that will represent the sweet couple.

For summer drinks we suggest something that is light and refreshing- especially if it’s an outdoor wedding. An Aperol Spritz, Moscow Mule, or margarita are great options for the drinks. These are drinks that many will enjoy are are nice for a warm day.

For a winter or fall wedding consider adding a twist on a warmer drink such as apple cider or hot chocolate. It can be spiked drinks that are perfect for those chillier nights and will keep guests warm and on the dance floor. These are also great options that can come without alcohol for the non-drinkers or the younger wedding guests.

Another option to look at are big batch cocktails. These can be made beforehand and can be self serve as well. For these we suggest something such as sangria, beer on tap, or whiskey lemonade. These are classics that guests are sure to love and easy to prepare! With these you can also personalize it by choosing a light are dark sangria, or picking your favorite craft beer to have for the guests.

Cheers to picking out your signature drink and your big day.
