Signature drinks for the reception
If you want your reception to stand out and have something people will be talking about for years to come then you need something truly unique. A signature drink is just the ticket. While you’re likely serving more than one type of beverage adding a signature drink that is special makes your day memorable, especially if it’s a cocktail that most people will enjoy.
To create a signature drink sit down and consult with a mixologist. The mixologist will ask you both about your favorite tastes, colors, and flavor. He will also take into account your hobbies, personality traits and even names. From this he will put together your combined characteristics and make a drink that speaks for you both and creates a complete couples’ style. This signature drink should have a fun name which lets guests know it is not like any other and is all about you. If you don’t want to hire a professional you of course aren’t required to at all. You can instead make your own drink. There may be a cocktail that you each enjoy which you can put your own twist on and make it original. Or you can even use an old favorite and simply name it something different so it relates to the two of you as a couple. To make it fit even more perfectly choose a concoction that coordinates with your wedding colors or ask the bartender to add food coloring so it is the correct color and shade. Remember every little detail matters in creating the overall look.
Serve the drink in a glass unlike the others being used at the reception so it is even more distinctive. If you have a bar set up place a sign up that describes the drink and explains it’s relationship to the two of you. As part of the favor you leave you can have an index size card printed with the recipe for your special concoction along with a fun glass or bar accessory. This can also be displayed on the bar or around other tables so guests will know what they’re drinking and be able to recreate it later if they happen to really enjoy it.
Creating your own signature cocktail for your reception shows off a new level of excitement, energy and style. Suddenly you’ll be the “it” couple that everyone wants to mimic and be like. Get the party started with your signature drink and enjoy your memorable day.
