While bartending at an event for graduate students in a local school of Dentistry, I was presented with a list of themed signature drinks to be offered at the open bar. "Mouthwash" was just one of the four, and was a vile green hue, but was quite tasty (so I heard) and popular.
For a wedding, the signature drink can be meaningful to the couple, their families, or their friends, or it can also be funny. Maybe the two of you met over a round of Sidecars, or maybe after a pitcher of sangria. A bellini is classic, or you can make it your own by choosing different juices or nectars. A couple based in the Southwest once chose Prickly Pear margaritas.
It can also be a way to cut down on bar costs. If you don't want to offer a full bar, consider offering only wine, beer, and soft drinks along with a single signature drink. It can be simple and classic, like the "Carson Cosmo," "Sarah and Martin's Manhattan," or even offer a "Douglas Dirty Martini."
At Jeffrey Miller Catering, you can choose to serve your specialty drink at the bar, or upgrade to a signature drink station. If you've chosen a drink based on your wedding colors or theme, than this can be a really unique and elegant way to display your cocktail. Drinks with blue curacao or Midori will be brightly colored, or perhaps you've chosen to garnish your mimosa with an orchid that matches your centerpieces.
Are you going to have a signature drink? What's the most interesting signature drink you've seen or tasted?
