Shaken or Stirred: A Guide to the Perfect Signature Drink

When planning a wedding every detail matters—from the decor to the music, and especially the drinks. Signature cocktails have become a popular way for couples to add a personal touch to their big day. These curated beverages go beyond traditional bar offerings, reflecting the couple’s personality, love story, or favorite flavors. So, how can you craft the perfect signature drink for your wedding?

Why Choose Signature Drinks?

Signature drinks serve as a fun way to personalize your wedding and create a lasting impression. Rather than sticking to a standard open bar, offering a couple of custom cocktails allows you to highlight your favorite spirits, flavors, or even themes. Plus, it can streamline the bar service, cutting down wait times and ensuring your quests enjoy a curated experience. Did you and your partner meet over margaritas? Is there a cocktail that reminds you of a favorite vacation or date night? These personal touches can turn a simple drink into a meaningful moment.
