Signature drinks

We're doing a bourbon old fashioned. I realize it's not everyone's cup of tea, but we'll still have a full open bar. Ours is more of a "suggested" drink, as it goes well with BBQ! Plus, it's mine and FH's favorite, so if guests don't like it, they can suck it. (Kidding.)

I also like the idea of a Moscow mule. People love them, they're trendy now, and they're light and refreshing. The only problem is that they're supposed to be served in copper mugs, and a lot of venues probably won't have that.

What's your meal? We're serving beer, wine and sangria because we're having Mexican food. And FH bought a bunch of scotch one day impulsively so I guess we'll have that too!

We found Dr. Who themed drinks.

ETA: our venue cost also included a full bar, so this will just be there for some fun drink suggestions.

Rebecca H. We are having a buffet style dinner with chicken, salmon, and steak. JaKLYn that is awesome that your venue fee included an open bar and the dr. Who themed drinks are a nice addition to the bar.

What about a Newlywed Mule? Just make Moscow Mules and change the name!

We're from Jamaica and every Jamaican wedding has rum punch but instead I'm having it made so that the color is purple and we're calling it purple passion rum punch

I like the Moscow Mule idea... also since your wedding is in September, you could make one of the drinks more autumn-y.

Something like one of these:

We're doing Florida Mules (Moscow Mule with a twist...since the wedding is in FL!)

We don't have many details of our dinner party set yet, but I'm thinking of having some kind of bourbon & apple cider cocktail... mmm, fall!

Creative JUICES flowing. I see what you did there.. Haha anyway, we're not exactly sure but mine will be something with rum and FHs will be something with bourbon.

We have a Bahamian/old Florida theme for food so we have doing a rum punch as well

I am not creative at all but this link has some cute wedding named cocktails that may give you an idea: https://www.theknot.com/content/7-creative-signature-wedding-cocktail-names-plus-recipes

I think we are going to go with a watermelon martini.

vodka

watermelon schnapps

simple syrup

lime juice

My sis/BIL did a signature drink at their wedding and called it the Bryshell (Bryan - Michelle). I don't remember what the drink was though haha. It was blue.

Thanks for that link Kelsey! I will check that out. VMDIZZLE that dirty Arnold Palmer sounds so good!!!!! I want one right now actually.

We are doing exactly the same bar setup as you, so we also wanted to pick drinks that most people would like. We are doing margaritas (standard on the rocks) and Moscow mules. I never realized they were trendy right now, it just happens to be FH's favorite drink.

VM - those are the best drink names ever! Did you come up with them?

ETA - our signature drink is a margarita. YUUMMM!

For ours we are doing beer, wine, and margaritas as the signature drink. However, our bartender has like 15 different margarita flavors to bring, so we will probably chose each a bride a groom margarita flavor.

I would pick a vodka or rum drink - most people prefer a clear liquor over a dark liquor. That's just my 2 cents!

Honestly I don't even know what a Moscow mule!!! I had to look it up ? but it sounds delicious and obviously very popular.
