Color and Taste are key...

My main color is wine/burgundy.

(no, I don't want my signature drink to be wine... lol).

We met at a Mexican restaurant, so we can play with that.

We're going to Disney World on our Honeymoon.

Our reception is on a Beach.

It's in the Fall (November).

I'd like them to be in martini glasses.

Any suggestions... I'm clueless when it comes to drinks!

By the way, if it were up to my FH, our Signature Drink would be BEER.

I don't know if this is the exact recipe, but it still looks good. They call these drinks Posmos....cute name!

You sould do pomegranite apple martinis
You use apple flavored vodka
and pomegranite juice so it gets the reddish color not a green color. Then you use a little 7-up or sour mix to your taste.
I bartended for 1,000,000 years and that was the new 'trendy' way we did the appletinis.

mmm... pomogranite. you could probably use pomogranite instead of or in addition to the raspberries for the mojito i posted.

if you want to do something fairly easy but still tasty, you could always do a daquiri too.

How about you have the RH decorate the inside of the martini glasses with burgundy colored swirls, and have the drink be anything u like- straight up martini so the liquid is clear and the swirls are colored. Or a cosmo so the liquid is pink... etc...

Raspberry Tequila Sangria.

Unique, deep red and delicious:

1 bottle White Wine, preferably Spanish or Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Gris
1 cup silver Tequila
1/2 cup Triple Sec
1/4 cup fresh Lime Juice
1/4 cup Sugar
2 pints fresh Raspberries or 10 ounce frozen package (thawed)
24 ounces (2 cans) Ginger Ale
ice
Lime wedges, for garnish (optional)

I like this idea too!!!

Pomegrante Martini's are AWESOME!!!

We use Vodka, triple Sec, pom juice and then use the seeds from the pomegranate at the bottom of the glass, garnish with an edible flower or orange or lime. they are delicious!!!!

I recommend a Lychee-Pomegranite Martini- it's sensational...Lichido (Lychee Liqueur), Pom (Pomegranite Juice), and Vodka. It makes a color pretty close to burgundy...good luck!
