Why include a signature drink?

A signature drink gives you creativity to incorporate your wedding colors, a fun name that is significant to you as a couple and beautiful and unique glassware and garnishes. A signature drink also helps your budget because it can limit an open bar and streamline the ingredients and alcohol that you will provide. Do you want a bride's and groom's drink? Can you include your pet in the naming of the drink if they can't physically be at the wedding? Can you make your drink a shout out to someone who is important to the both of you?


Think of a creative name for your drink!

Maybe the name represents where you met, or the style of you wedding or carries significance for your future. No matter what your drink is think of a creative name that represents your journey as a couple! Incorporate wedding words, funny puns, your wedding theme, your wedding colors, locations that are important to your relationship, inside jokes, special people, shared hobbies, etc!
