Bride/groom Cocktails

Can you give them a recipe? The junebug is a good one.

One of our faves is from Virginia beach.. it's called an orange crush... orange vodka, triple sec, and fresh squeezed oranges (we just use orange juice) kinda like a sweeter screwdriver with a nicer name lol

A lot of great ideas on Pinterest for bride and groom cocktails. Good luck

Instead of a signature drink necessarily, my fiance and I plan on having a sign that says what we'll be drinking that night; for example, I love gimlet and he likes old fashions instead of coming up with a new, frankly over-sugared "signature" recipe. So, say if you like a flavored lemonade and your fiance has a different favorite drink that could be good to put on a little board near the bar. Gives guests a look into what you like and (in our case) guests will probably gravitate to having that instead of using a bunch of different alcohols and mixers to keep costs down.

His signature drink is a Drunken Arnold Palmer (Jack Daniels Honey, pink lemonade, and iced tea)...since our venue is a golf club...and mine is called a Blushing Bride (citrus vodka, pink lemonade, and sprite). We tried to tie in the pink from our color palette.

We just did one "signature" drink--a Dark and Stormy with ginger beer and either bourbon or rum depending on what people chose. H is a competitive sailor and i love the water so it felt like a good choice. if you like herbal and floral flavours, i recently had a champagne cocktail with elderflower in it that was so tasty! bubbly + elderflower liqueur with a lemon twist.

What's your theme? Our venue comes with an open bar, but since we have a "Vintage Romance/Vintage Elegance" theme we've put drink ideas on the back of the menu cards for drinks like:

-Old Fashioned

-Side Car

-Sloe Gin Fizz

-Amaretto Sour

-Bee's Knees

-Mint Juleup

-Whiskey Sour

-Champagne Cocktail

Pinterest has a ton! We are thinking of doing a whiskey drink and calling it "Whiskey Girl" or doing a margarita since we both love them. A flavored margarita is always fun!
