What is a signature drink?

Monday, March 3rd, 2008
Maybe your alcohol budget isn’t big, but you still want to serve cocktails. Or maybe you just want to incorporate your color scheme into your drinks. Whatever your reasoning, having a signature drink is a fun way to bring your personality, theme, or colors into the bar. You can serve just one signature drink or have several for your guests to choose from. The choice is yours! It’s a very cost effective way to have cocktails at your reception without paying for a full bar. All you need is the ingredients to your drink(s).

First, decide on the kind of drink you want. Is vodka a favorite of you and your fiance? Do you want a red cocktail to match your color scheme? You can get ideas on drinkalizer.com, where you can view drink recipes by liquor type or even color. Or work with your bartenders or a mixologist to prepare a unique drink just for you.

After you’ve chosen your drink, give it a name. Something that is memorable and, again, exhibits your personalities. Get creative!
