Wedding 103: Signature Cocktail

We had an assortment of wine and liquor available at our wedding, as well as lemonade and bottled water.  However, we also wanted to have a signature drink for the occasion.  This served two purposes.  It added a special and fun aspect to the bar, and was something completely unique to our wedding.  It also saved on cost.  By highlighting a specific drink and making a larger quantity up ahead of time, we didn’t have to feel any kind of need for a full (or even slightly full) bar.  Now, it also helps when you only have a handful of people attend your wedding in the backyard, but the concept can hold true regardless of the size!

Our signature drink was especially significant because the recipe and name was created by our dear friend and wedding officiant!
