Are you planning on having signature drinks or wedding cocktails for your big day? Then we’ve created a short guide to help you and your other half choose the perfect drinks or signature wedding cocktails for your wedding.
Whether your celebrations are inside a wedding venue or outside in one of our stunning wedding marquees, you’ll want to keep your guests refreshed with a first-class signature cocktail that captures the flavours and feel of your special day.
The signature drink at your wedding could be your and your spouse’s favourite cocktail, colourful drinks to match the wedding colours or wedding theme, or cocktails given new, punny names to highlight some aspect of the wedding or your relationship. Your signature cocktails can set the tone of your wedding just as much as the marquee decor, music, and food.
What is your choice of drink when you walk up to a bar? A Mojito? Cosmopolitan? Margarita? Old Fashioned? Moscow Mule? Deciding what you want to be poured from the cocktail shaker is one of the most important things when choosing your signature wedding cocktail. It’s your wedding, after all!
You want your drink not only to be delicious but to represent you. The best part about choosing a signature cocktail for your wedding is you don’t have to pick just one! If you love tequila, but your spouse is more into dark rum, cater to your tastes with a cocktail made for each of you. Creativity is great; however, don’t forget you and your wedding guests will also be drinking this cocktail all night so sometimes classic cocktails can be a good idea.
Having a fiesta-themed wedding? How about some margaritas? Festival themed wedding? Try out some sangria, Pimms or aperol spritz. Think about the season. If your wedding is in the autumn, you could use some autumnal flavours. Alternatively, try matching the colours of your wedding if your colours are purple and white, consider doing a Black Forest Fizz. We think cocktails are better when you use fresh and seasonal ingredients. If you’re having a christmas wedding of course you can’t beat mulled wine.
Origami Bars only use the finest and freshest ingredients, garnishes & botanicals, which can make your wedding cocktail unique. Citrus slices and berries are great traditional garnishes with fresh herb sprigs like thyme, rosemary, or mint, adding a splash of greenery that always looks and smells stunning. One of our favourite summer garnishes is a fresh lavender sprig!
You don’t necessarily have to design your own drink for it to be considered a signature cocktail. Sometimes adding a playful name to your cocktail will suit. This could be something you both love, such as a place or pet. Or use your names or a wedding hashtag to help come up with an original idea
Get creative with the name to make it a wedding-themed treat. Here are some of our favourite ideas below:
Suppose you would like us to create a customised cocktail menu for your wedding day! Let us know some basic facts about you and your partner, and we’ll turn you into some quirky cocktail names fit for that added personality at your wedding reception.
If you prefer spicy cocktails, you could try adding spice to your favourite drink, maybe through jalapeño syrup or a pinch of pepper. Just be warned, it might be only you drinking it if spice isn’t to your guest’s taste! For those couples with a sweet tooth for sweeter cocktails, you could try adding honey syrup or simple syrup. Alternatively fresh fruit juices such as lemon juice, lime juice or orange juice.
