Sangria as a signature drink?

AshleyR, on May 25, 2016 at 11:01 AM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 20

Hey all, we are doing the beer, wine, and 2 signature cocktail thing. At first I was planning on doing an apple cider sangria since my caterer makes some kick ass home made cider, but now I'm worried that maybe a wine-cocktail might not be a good idea since the cocktail variety is limited? But I love sangria, the people love sangria, should I just let it go, or come up with something else?

    Sangria is always a good idea Smiley winking

    A much better choice than obscure weird drinks that people try to match to their color schemes.

    We are doing just beer and wine, but I'd love to do a sangria bar. I say stick the sangria!

    I'd do wine, beer, sangria mix (for the wine) and then another sig drink.

    We had a sangria station at our wedding and everyone loved it. Even those who aren't typically wine drinkers.

    Sandria is awesome and is typically something that a lot of drinkers like, but I gotta admit the apple cider thing sounds awesome as well! Have fun with it!

    I agree with Kristy. Cider sangria sounds wonderful.

    I'd request you do both kinds. Red sangria is okay but I will knock a bitch over for a good glass of white.

    First off - I think you should always have sangria. I am just that kind of gal.

    Also if you have another signature drink - that should be enough for everyone. Also if it is not, they are wrong and like the wrong things.

    Sangria is a good universal (in my opinion) because it tastes more like punch and less like wine. So if someone doesn't like the taste of wine or beer, then it's a good option for them.

    Having 2 signature cocktails with liquor isn't worth forgoing the seemingly-awesome homemade cider sangria just to attempt to appease people who want hard liquor (when it sounds like you're really aiming for mainly a beer and wine bar with a nice addition of the 2 cocktails).

    I did a variety of beers, a red and white wine and sangria. Worked out well IMO.

    I'm not a wine or beer drinker but LOVE sangria so I'd be happy to see this as an added choice to any wedding I attend
