Drink it Up!



Brides are looking for ways to cut back, but don't want to look stingie or cheap while doing so - so do you NEED to have an open bar at your wedding, I mean a full-all-out open bar?

Why not just do beer and wine, do 3 different kinds of beer, and a White and Red wine - and one signature drink... that will limit what your guests can drink - and your can even come up with a fun name for your drink. You can color coordinate your drink to your colors, come up with a theme....or pre mix the drink so that your bar tender doesn't have to mix it individually.

We've also have done His and Her's for cocktails as well. So it'd be two signature drinks instead of just one...more variety and still super fun!

We want to have a couple signature drinks at our wedding... do you know any good recipes for purple, blue or green drinks?

Hey Holly!

Those are easy! Purple - we did a Purple Martini using Rose's Martini Mixes - Blue Raspberry and Red Raspberry practice first, you need more red than blue and whichever clear alcohol you prefer.

For Green - Midori works great, and you can mix that with any other clear alcohol you choose.

For Blue - Blue Curasco Works great! For Blue Martini's!

Enjoy and Have fun!
