Signature Cocktails

Apple sake (FH’s pick) or MY Tie (a mai tai but spelt punny)
Rum Swizzle (bermuda’s Signature drink)

FH loves Moscow mules and I'm still debating on mine!

Considering rum and cola.

I like cranberry and whiskey, but that's a bit off the beaten path...

Fh loves rum and coke cola
I love whiskey and mountain dew
And we are also having my fh grandpas punch that he use to make at holidays and family parties!

Cherry blossom margaritas and strawberry mojitos

We’re doing His and Her signature drinks. FH chose moscow mules, and I enjoy mojitos. His name is Duc (pronounced Duke) but people accidentally call him Duck a lot so we’re calling his drink the Moscow Duck. I have a thing for hippos (randomly) and my drink will be called the Minty Hippo .

Sangria and dark & stormy (ginger beer and dark rum)

Grapefruit Lemonade

We like different drinks but both like Long Islands so that’s what we will be doing but calling it Main Street USA tea

View Quoted Comment Don't do mojitos. Bartenders hate them because they are so much work to prepare. The line at my son's cocktail hour bar got very long because of them.

If you have your heart set on them, then make them in advance and serve from a pitcher with a garnish of mint.

We are doing her & his cocktail. Mine will be Cosmo because that’s what I ordered on our first date 😍 & that was literally the last time I had a cocktail (I don’t really drink haha). Cosmo is also so Manhattan to me (which is where we live).
His will be some kind of fun & lighter martini, because martini is his favorite.
My priority when picking cocktails is to pick ones that look pretty, have lower alcohol content (I don’t like drunk guests lol) & aren’t too complex to make, so that the line for drinks is not huge, since we’re serving signature cocktails only during cocktail hour.

We aren't doing one, but if we did it would be this one! I had it at our menu tasting and we both really liked it.
I'll probably order a couple from the bar for myself anyway haha.

My FH loves Moscow mules too. We may just have that one.

View Quoted Comment Just a yay for other ladies mixing whiskey!

View Quoted Comment Yes!! I cant help. I love whiskey!

Any suggestions? Both my FH and I rarely drink so we don’t really have tastes for anything in particular haha

Lavender champagne, raspberry sangria, hibiscus cosmos (well drinks are available too since our specialty cocktails are floraly/fruity).

View Quoted Comment Omg, I love both of those drinks!

We are both from Manhattan. I’m from the Upper East Side and he is from Hell’s Kitchen, so we will have a blackberry elderflower spritzer called the Uptown Girl and a wonderfully spicy dark and stormy called Hell’s Kitchen.

View Quoted Comment Mmmm, those all sound fabulous.
