Re: Signature drinks at the CH or recepetion??
I was not planning on it for the wedding but since you brought it up, I just picked up some tangerine flavored pomegranite juice and orange vodka and we have citris rimming sugar so I'm going to make citris pomegranite martinis for our Superbowl party!
That could make for a yummy wedding signature drink!
I don't see why you could not give a recipe to the bartender, have him whip up a full bottle or two ready made, make some cute cards in frames on the bar with a cute name and recipe and there you have a signature drink!

Champagne is the signature drink at my CH
seriously though, I decided against it. As an event planner, I felt it wasn't wedding like to have 'Soco and Lime' as my drink of choice, but some people have one and thats fine. What we are doing is taking drinks already in existence and naming them names of things in our lives. For example: captain and coke: name of FI hometown Gin and tonic: name of my dad's horse Cranberry and Vodka: name of our pug Beer: The RedFox (after my college mascot)
thought people would get a kick out of it

We're having a signature drink passed around and as an option at CH and of course you can order it during the reception.
Just another way to incorporate some color...

We are definitely doing the signature drink thing! It wa soriginally going to be Mojitos, but we have moved away from the Cuan theme. We are now more into a South Pacific theme, does anyone have any suggestions?

We are doing them at our cocktail hour. They were part of our wedding package. We are having a blue theme and we are still looking for the 'perfect' drink.

I was thinking of having a reddish margarita, if that's possible, as our drink to match the color scheme, and to signify the Mexican restaurant where Joe and I officially met.

Yes we had a Martini bar and our signature drink was our last name with the tini at the end of it, we had it framed with the ingredients edited to say we got lucky that our last name sounds good with the tini, my maiden name would have never!!
3 oz. Love Potion 1 0z. kisses and hugs etc.
stuff like that 5 lines and at the bottom it said drink is a Cosmopolitan. Our colors were Pink and white so that matched closest to a popular drink you know most drink. It was a hit!!!

This women makes you signature drinks based on what you tell her about your wedding , colors, themes , and the drinks you and your FH like etc... she charges a fee.. but she also writes a lot of books on drinks.
She custom makes you a drink , gives you a recipe and names it
I know a lot of you were asking about signature drinks
