Signature Bride And Groom Cocktails Are This Wedding Season's Stars
When it comes to weddings, every couple wants their big day to be as unique as their love story. What better way to add a personal touch than with signature cocktails crafted especially for the bride and groom? These aren’t just any drinks; they’re liquid narratives of the couple’s journey, a sip of their personalities, and a toast to their future. So, let’s stir up some love and mix a couple of signature cocktails that are as memorable as the day itself.
For the Bride: Lavender Love Letter
First up for the bride, we've got the Lavender Love Letter. It's a soft, floral concoction that feels like receiving a sweet, scented note. Mix 30 ml of Tanqueray Gin for its botanical base with 15 ml of homemade lavender syrup—just sugar, water and a bunch of fresh lavender. Top it off with a splash of lemon juice and a bit of tonic water for a bubbly finish. It's elegant, it's refined, and it whispers romance with every sip.
Peachy Vodka
For a crystal-clear vision of the future, we kick things off with something crisp and clean: 30 ml of Ketel One Vodka. In goes 15 ml of peach liqueur for a soft, romantic sweetness. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice brings in a bit of zing and a nod to her optimistic outlook on life. And let's not forget a dash of lavender syrup to make things more floral, akin to a backyard summer wedding. Finish off with sparkling water or Gordon’s tonic water, and garnish with a dehydrated peach.
For The Handsome Groom: Old-fashioned
Let’s do a fresh take on the old-fashioned that'll have not just the grooms but also the best men nodding in approval. We start with 45 ml of Talisker 10, an intriguing, peaty whisky. Into that, we whisk a spoonful of homemade vanilla-infused simple syrup, smoothing out the edges with a warm sweetness to calm the nerves on the big day. A couple of dashes of bitters add just the right amount of edge.
Captain Morgan’s Morning Coffee
For this unique blend, reach for 45 ml of Captain Morgan, capturing the exhilarating highs of married life. A splash of cold-brew coffee concentrate injects a burst of energy, much-needed on the big day. A drizzle of maple syrup sweetens the cocktail, ending the day on a hopeful and promising note.
For the Couple: Love Potion
And for the couple, something special that blends their tastes and personalities into one unforgettable drink. Let’s mix 30 ml of Gordon’s with 30 ml of fresh strawberry puree because, after all, love is sweet. Add a dash of lemon juice for a bit of zest and a whisper of rose water. Shake it all up, serve it in a glass rimmed with sugar, and there you have it—a pretty drink with an unexpected kick.
There you have it: five signature cocktails designed with love, laughter and a lifetime of happiness in mind.
