What is your Signature Wedding Cocktail!

Want to add a personal touch to your wedding reception? How about offering a "Signature Cocktail". Perfect for the budget conscious! You will save on the bar bill by just offering beer, wine, champagne and your signature cocktail rather than stocking a full service bar. Pick a drink that offers your favorite liquor, matches your wedding colors or coordinates with the season. Have some fun with this by naming your signature cocktail with a fun quirky name and advertising it at the bar.

Some suggestions for a "Signature Cocktail" could be:

• Wedding Belle Cocktail
  3/4 oz Dubonnet
  3/4 oz Gin
  1 Dash of Cherry Brandy
  1 Dash of Orange Juice
  
  Shake all ingredients with ice, strain into a cocktail glass, and serve.  

 or

• Sealed with a Kiss
  2 oz chocolate liqueur such as Godiva or Crème de Cacao
  1.5 oz vodka
  Hershey's Kiss
  
  Pour all ingredients into a shaker with ice,shake well, and pour into a chilled cocktail glass. Put a Hershey's Kiss in the bottom for the added love touch. 

or

• 
  Hot Romance
  1 1/2 oz rum
  2 oz cranberry juice
  2 oz orange juice
  
  Pour all ingredients into a cocktail glass over ice. Stir and serve with an orange slice.
   

If you already have a favorite cocktail, just rename it with a cute wedding related name or a name that combines both of your names. 

For the more budget conscious bride you could offer a "Wedding Punch". This is a great way to serve many and cut down cost even further.

Here are some recipes:

Elegant Wedding Punch
Makes 16 cups

1/2 cup Chambord raspberry
1 cup Triple Sec
1 cup Brandy
2 cups pineapple juice
1 liter of ginger ale
2 bottles dry champagne

The night before the wedding, chill the ginger ale and the dry champagne. Combine the Chambord, Triple Sec, brandy and pineapple juice in a bowl, cover, and chill overnight. When ready to serve, combine all ingredients and serve in a pretty bowl with ice cubes.


Traditional Wedding Punch
Makes 20 cups

2 cups vodka
4 cups unsweetened pineapple juice
4 cups unsweetened cranberry juice
64 oz ginger ale
2 cups sugar

Mix all ingredients together and serve in a large punch bowl with plenty of ice. Adjust vodka and sugar to your taste. If you are using sweetened juices, you may choose to forgo the sugar altogether.

So let the party begin!!
