Thirsty Thursdays - Signature Drinks for your Event

A signature drink is a great way to personalize your wedding or event.  It can be a favorite of you and your fiance, paying homage to someone, or you just like the color or the way it tastes.  A signature drink can also cut down on your bar costs if the bar budget is a possible issue. Serve beer and wine and your signature drink or drinks.

Each Thursday, we will be blogging about both an alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks you might want to consider for your day.  Let us know if you have any suggestions!

Our inaugural alcoholic beverage is the:
Kiss on the Lips - a sweet frozen drink
Ingredients: Peach Schnapps,  Frozen Mango Mix & Grenadine Syrup

1 - 1 1/2 oz peach schnapps
4 - 6 oz frozen mango mix
1 tbsp grenadine syrup

The mango mix should be blended with crushed ice firstly with the schnapps. Pour the schnapps and mango mix into a cocktail glass with the grenadine already placed at the bottom.


Sweet, fruity and frozen, this is a great drink for a summer wedding.

Our inaugural non-alcoholic beverage is the: 
Cranberry Punch - a sweet, yet tart, refreshing drink
Ingredients: cranberry juice, sugar, pineapple juice, almond extract and ginger ale.

4 cups cranberry juice
1 1/2 cups sugar
4 cups pineapple juice
1 tbsp almond extract
2 qt ginger ale

Combine first four ingredients. Stir until sugar is dissolved, chill. Then add ginger ale just before serving. Add ice ring to keep punch cold.


This refreshing drink can be garnished in so many different ways, a cute orange peel, lemon or lime zest or with whole cranberries.

Remember before you select a drink for your guests, make sure you try them, either make them at home yourself or go out to your favorite mixologist and give it a try!  

Bottoms Up and Enjoy!
