We’ll guide you through spirits, fresh ingredients, garnishes, and presentation so every sip matches the vibe of your celebration. Whether you want something bright and floral for cocktail hour or a moody, spiced drink to match your evening glow, we’ll make it happen.

How to Find Your Signature Drink

Finding your signature drink is part of the fun—and it’s all about inspiration. Here are a few ways to get started:

1. Revisit your first date.
What did you drink when you first met? Maybe it was a margarita, an old fashioned, or something bubbly. Use that as a starting point and give it a personal twist.

2. Think about your go-to flavors.
If you’re always reaching for fruity, spicy, or herbal flavors, let that guide your mix. For example, a couple who loves summer sangrias might create a light berry spritz version for their big day.

3. Match your wedding vibe.
Your cocktail can complement your decor or season—like lavender lemonade for a spring wedding, or a smoky bourbon cocktail for an autumn celebration.

The goal? Find a drink that feels like you and your partner in liquid form.
