Signature Drinks: Another Way To Brand Your Wedding!

Don’t underestimate the option of having a signature drink (or a few) at your wedding!  This is a great way to brand your wedding in a memorable way!  Martha Stewart posted many ideas for cocktails that would taste wonderful and leave a signature stamp on your big day.  Also, The Knot has an incredible index of signature cocktails!  Most consist of simply blending traditional drinks with a new spin.  Many combine a fruity flavor with a mint, basil or herb.

It’s a beautiful thing, because these drinks can be selected by what goes with your color scheme if you so choose, as many of them are just as great to look at.  From floating fruit to curled lemon zest, mint or basil leaves, celery (in a Watermelon Bloody Mary).  These signature drinks will be an unforgettable staple in your wedding.

I suggest you find concoctions that you and your groom love (since the day is about capturing your personalities and sharing).  The beautiful thing is, this isn’t like the food, where you have to worry about everyone liking your choice; because there will be other options for guests who aren’t interested in your novelty drinks.

This is also a wonderful idea for those who have an open bar, but don’t want to splurge on every drink option; it’s increasingly common to offer guests limited options.  Having unlimited beer, wine, and your signature cocktail is a great way to not skimp out but also save some of that moolah you’re trying to spread around your wedding budget.

Don’t feel excluded from this, those of you having an alcohol-free wedding.  There are plenty of virgin drinks you can put together.  Consider all your fruit juice options with fruit or herbal garnish, or even iced coffee mixtures!  You still have plenty of options.
