Your Signature Wedding Drink ~ Cottages by the Bay
When it comes to planning a wedding, it’s all in the details. Often, guests look forward to taking advantage of a stocked bar. Alcohol can be a major expense and drain the budget.

When you host your wedding at the premier Destin wedding venue, the Bay House, consider adding a signature drink to your menu.
A Drink to Remember
To create a signature wedding drink, it’s important to have an idea of your preferences. What kind of cocktails do you typically like? Choose a drink recipe that you love, and your guests are sure to enjoy it too. Also, if you cannot decide on one, it never hurts to have two options. Perhaps, offer a drink with a light liquor and another with a dark liquor to please the variety of guests. If you feel overwhelmed by too many choices, it’s a great idea to put a twist on one of the classics. Consider “dressing up” cocktails like an old fashioned or gin and tonic.
Additionally, consider the aesthetic of your signature wedding drink. This can cover everything from the presentation to the color of the cocktail. For color, match the venue decor or add an herb sprig or fruit to give it some texture. If you’re not interested in making the drink itself match, consider the style of the glass it is poured in. From coupe glasses to champagne flutes, there are an endless array of options to showcase your style. The sky is the limit as far as adding personality to the beverage.
When it comes to the recipe, there are several ways to go about choosing. If there is a beverage that has a special meaning to you, that is a great place to start. For example, serve the drink you had on your first date or one you had on your first big trip together. If these options don’t stand out, it is great to get guidance from your bartender. He or she can craft something special for your big day. Remember to include seasonal items if it fits the time of year and theme for your wedding. Another advantage of creating a signature drink is that it is cost-effective. By going this route, the bartender can create large batches of the cocktail. This not only saves you money, but it cuts down time that guests spend waiting. After all, you want them up and moving on the dance floor!
