How to Choose Signature Cocktails for Your Wedding

The best wedding signature cocktails reflect you as a couple, match the season and are easy to serve quickly. Most couples choose two drinks, often one for each partner, so guests have a fun choice without slowing down the bar.

Why Couples Love Signature Cocktails

• They add a personal story to your bar.

• They make your shopping list shorter and simpler.

• They keep the bar line moving faster than a full menu.

• They look great in photos and on a custom drink menu sign.

5 Tips for Choosing Your Signature Drinks

1. Start with what you love
Think about the drinks you order on date night, the cocktail from your first date or a favorite vacation drink. Your bartender can turn those into a wedding-ready version.

2. Pick one for each of you
Many couples choose "His & Hers" or "Hers & Hers" cocktails, one per partner. It's a fun way for guests to pick a side.

3. Match the season
Light, fruity and citrus drinks work great for summer weddings. Warmer spices, cranberry and darker spirits feel right for fall and winter.

4. Keep it simple to serve
Drinks with a few ingredients are faster to make for a big crowd. Some cocktails can be premixed in drink dispensers so guests are served quickly.

5. Match your wedding colors
A pink, purple or golden cocktail can tie your bar into your color palette and decor.

Give Them a Fun Name

A clever name makes your cocktails memorable. Use your names, your pet's name, your first date spot or an inside joke. Your custom drink menu sign will be a guest favorite.

Don't Forget a Mocktail

Add a signature mocktail so non-drinking guests, kids and designated drivers have something special too.
