Watermelon Refresher
If you’re hosting summer nuptials, think about using seasonal fruit like watermelon in your cocktails. This recipe calls for a strawberry-watermelon combo, healthy splash of vodka and hints of basil, ginger and lime. (via Style Me Pretty)
Champagne and Fruit
Sometimes a signature drink is more about the garnishes than the booze, like in the case of this champagne cocktail with slices of soaked pears in glass and skewered blueberries on top. (via We Tie The Knots)
Blueberry Mojito
If you’re not into blue shoes or jewelry for your “something blue,” make it about your drink instead. This twist on a classic mojito is fruity from fresh blueberries and just as refreshing as the minty classic! (via A Crimson Kiss)
Margarita Madness
Throw the fiesta of all fiestas by making you and your grooms’ signature drink the ultimate in tequila-infused sippers — a margarita. We can’t think of one guest who could complain about that! (via Style Me Pretty)
Drink Tags
“If you liked it, then you shoulda put a tag on it,” said all smart DIY brides everywhere. Once you’ve made your signature drink, bottle it up and add festive “Just Married” tags that describe the drink of choice! (via Wedding Chicks)
His and Hers Drinks
Just because you got hitched doesn’t mean you suddenly adopted your partner's passion for a good Scotch on the rocks. Make the bar just as much about you with his and hers drinks! (via )
St. Germain
Give this St. Germain cocktail made with lime, white cranberry juice, and vodka the name it deserves — The White Wedding. (via Style Me Pretty)
Lavender Infusion
Getting married in the spring? Infuse your champagne with floral lavender by adding a sprig of the purple stuff to each flute. If those lavender sprigs match your bridesmaids’ dresses, bonus points to you. (via Bridal Musings)
Champagne Mojitos
This is one of those two-in-one cocktails you’ve been dreaming about. The maid of honor and best man can now make their toasts to raised glasses of sparkling mojitos instead of some boring ol’ champagne. And those cute umbrella-topped straws are just the best. (via Style Me Pretty)
Mini Rum and Cokes
Rum and Coke might not be the most original of cocktails, but you and your groom can make it all yours by serving them up in mini glass Coke bottles. How sweet! (via The Knot)
Make A Wedding Cocktail Menu
After you’ve decided on what drink is yours and which one goes to your groom, make a fun menu to stand at your wedding's bar. This way, guests can choose sides. May the yummiest signature cocktail win! (via Buzzfeed)
Grapefruit Mimosas
This one’s for those daytime weddings — or for a bride who really likes her brunch drinks! Instead of orange juice though, use grapefruit juice and make those mimosas perfectly pink. (via Jelly Toast)
Sparkly Stirrers
Give your drinks some flair by adding pom-pom topped stirrers to your glasses. Just think how cute all those sparkly raised glasses will look come toast time. (via Style Me Pretty)
Pineapple Peach Vodka
How about a custom drink they can drink at the party or on the go? Pour fruit-infused vodka into airplane bottles (or go larger!) for an on-the-spot indulgence or a party favor. And don’t forget the cute labels. (via Burnett’s Boards)
Blushing Kiss Cocktail
This grapefruit gin martini has all the makings of a fun night — and judging by its name, it should be drank immediately following your first kiss as husband and wife. (via Bakers Royal)
Lavender French 75
Your guests have probably tried a French 75. Light and refreshing, it’s made with gin, lemon and champagne, but they probably haven’t had one infused with lavender! In honor of your “something new,” introduce them to this fantastic drink. Throw in some elderflower liqueur to spice things up even more. (via Love and Lemons)
Pretty in Pink Cocktail
This is the kind of drink that should be served at an outdoor summer wedding. It's refreshing from the fresh lemon juice, bubbly from sparkling wine, and booze-infused with gin – a hands-down winner. (via Apartment 34)
Bathtub Gin
If you and your groom love all things retro, you’ll love this nod to the prohibition era. Bottle up “bathtub gin” (just make yours by infusing gin with fruit) in mason jars. Then, throw it in a bathtub for guests to grab from. Having a winter wedding? These drinks will warm everyone right up. (via Wedding Chicks)
Strawberry Cachaca
This drink is almost too pretty to sip! It’s mixed like a caipirinha with cane sugar, muddled strawberries and cachaca, a liquor similar to rum, made from sugar cane. (via Wedding Chicks)
Orange-Gin-a Cocktail
This citrus and gin cocktail is infused with rosemary, making it the ultimate in balanced flavors and an elegant addition to your wedding’s bar. (via Ruffled)
Caribbean Mist
Consider this signature cocktail for a destination wedding, inspired by the crystal blue oceans of whatever beach you and your man decided to escape to. If you’re having a homegrown wedding, you can serve this as your "something blue" or in honor of your honeymoon. (via Something Turquoise)
