Signature Cocktail, Please!

One idea that has become very popular at weddings and special events of all kinds is a signature cocktail. It’s a great way of adding a personal detail in an unlikely place like the bar. It is also an unexpected place to find color, providing an additional decor element to your overal color scheme.

Love champagne and the color peach? How about a bellini?

Or maybe you’re planning a wedding by the sea with a blue color scheme. A blue martini would be perfect. If pink is one of your colors, you’ll be faced with a touch decision; there are so many pink cocktails that an entire book is devoted to them. Some of my favorites include a vodka/pink lemonade cocktail and a Pink Sunrise cocktail courtesy of Rachel Ray (a delicious combo of Campari liqueur, red grapefruit juice, and champagne).

Green event? Try a mojito:

Sangria is a crowd pleaser for red palettes.

A signature drink is not a must-have, but it certainly adds some sassiness to the cocktail hour! For more ideas on fun drinks, check out The Food Network’s website.
