For your spring wedding, the perfect signature cocktail (otherwise known as a specialty drink) can help pull together a seasonal theme…
Many of your favorite fruits are synonymous with spring. Combine those flavors with spirits and you can set a light, festive mood for your wedding. Consider this tasty cocktail for your reception, rehearsal dinner, or cocktail hour:
Mango Martini
• 2 parts Grey Goose vodka
• 1/2 part mango puree
• 1/2 part pineapple juice
• Splash of sour mix
Mix ingredients in shaker. Shake well over ice and strain into a martini glass.
Your signature cocktail should look as good as it tastes. Garnish the rim of the glass with fruit slices, serve the cocktail blended instead of over ice, or add a hibiscus flower to each glass for a spring feel. This recipe is both attractive and tasty:
Champagne Mojito
• Rose’s lime juice
• 1/2 lime wheel
• 3 mint leaves
• Champagne
• Fresh mint sprig (for garnish)
Fill 1/8th of a champagne flute with Rose’s lime juice. Add lime wheel and mint leaves. Fill the rest of the glass with champagne, then garnish with fresh mint sprig.
