Add a Signature Cocktail to Your Wedding



Wedding:  a day of Celebration, Joy and Love surrounded by those close to you. You spent months looking for THE dress, the one that is "just you", the venue you chose most likely is of significance to you and your future hubby and you have found a way to incorporate photos of the two of you in the centerpieces or decor. These are just a few ways to add that personal touch to your big day.
But what about a Signature Drink? This can be your favorite drink or a wedding cocktail with your favorite liquor or that fits your color scheme. 
Our Top 3 is definitely:
The Blushing Bride
2 oz passion-fruit nectar
3 oz Champagne
1/2 teaspoon grenadine
The Something Blue
2 oz Hypnotiq
2 oz White Wine
1 oz Ginger Ale
  

The Caribbean Bride
1 oz Light rum
1 oz Triple sec
8 oz Fruit juice
1 tsp Grenadine
1 tsp of Dark Rum on top
Crushed ice cubes
 
A signature cocktail at your wedding not only brings a personal touch but it can also be cost-saving. Just think about it: Instead of offering an open bar, which let’s face it, can be quite expensive, just serve two or three signature cocktails along with a selection of wine, beers and non-alcoholic beverages. 

Enjoy!
