Signature Cocktail Inspiration

Couples are always looking for new and unique ideas to set their wedding apart from the rest. One way to mix it up at the bar is to create a Signature Drink, that reflects your personalities and may include some of your favourite ingredients!

If you decide on choosing one drink, coming up with a cute name is key! Perhaps where you met, the name of your pet, or a special memory. However, some couples decide to create two drinks - one catering to each spouse, and their favourite drink.

We have decided on two of our favourite drinks, that are both delicious and easy to make! You can add a special name to make it you own, and we promise not to tell ;)

The Blushing Bride

  • 1 ounce fresh juice from 1 pink grapefruit
  • 1 1/2 ounces bourbon
  • 1/2 ounce simple syrup 
  • Garnish: grapefruit wedge (optional)

Directions

Fill a cocktail shaker 2/3 full with ice. Add grapefruit juice, bourbon, and simple syrup. Shake vigorously until well chilled, about 20 seconds. Strain into ice-filled rocks glass, garnish with grapefruit wedge if desired.

The Moscow Mule

  • 1/2 a lime
  • 2 ounces vodka
  • 4 to 6 ounces chilled ginger beer

Directions

Squeeze lime into a Collins glass (or copper mug, if you've got one) and drop in the spent lime shell. Fill glass with ice and add vodka; top with chilled ginger beer to taste.
