Fresh take for Champage Toast

I love the idea of jazzing up the champagne for the toast..

I will be making ours a Bellini type with a splash of raspberry liquor as well as fresh raspberries....

we will also be having a menu of signature drinks available to our guest to break of the monotony of cranberry vodkas lol!!!Our signature drinks are all 1940's themed since we are having a old school Hollywood glam wedding...

anyone else doing something like this???

Oooooo I love your idea. I am not having anything like that cuz I actually never even thought of it. Does the RH charge extra for the bartender to serve signature drinks? If not, I am all about your great idea!!!

We going to make twists on traditional...
gimlets
rob roys
bronx cocktail (i am from there so i had to have this lol).
french connection
manhattans

These tend to be intense drinks so our RH is willing to jazz them up and make them tastier...

you can make up your own names and get creative that way

Re: Fresh take for Champage Toast

I havent thought about signature drinks which i think is such a cute iea. But i do want strawberries in the champagne or at least on the side of the glass in case anyone is allergic. Hey u never know! lol

Re: Fresh take for Champage Toast

we have one signature drink for the cocktail hour, a chocolate martini, but that sounds like a great idea having a few of them!

Re: Fresh take for Champage Toast

I wanted to do signature drinks for my wedding. I have been planning to do this and have to talk to my RH when I go there next. I always thought that this was a nice touch to a wedding.

Re: Fresh take for Champage Toast

I like that idea. I read about it in Martha Stewart weddings- the bellini thing- I think I'd like that better than plain ol' champagne.

Re: Fresh take for Champage Toast

I think we are having Champage Toast with strawberries in them but we are having fun drinks at the bar, like pina coladas and daiquiris and we are also having all types of martinis... Since its July we wanted to have tropical style drinks

Re: Fresh take for Champage Toast

We had a martini bar with 30 flavors, they also had an ice sculpture next to it with vodka bottles in the sculpture, this was the sculpture
