Along with choosing a cake flavor, many couples love to choose a signature drink for their wedding reception or cocktail hour. While it’s absolutely okay to have a sober wedding, we wanted to share some famous drink ideas for couples looking for a signature cocktail. If you love more than one idea, you can always provide something everyone will like, and choose to have three cocktails like a cool margarita, a whiskey sour and a Moscow Mule.
Below are some of the best ideas for a signature cocktail for wedding receptions in Omaha!
Aperol Spritz
If you’re shooting for an elegant wedding theme, an Aperol spritz is both elegant and refreshing. The coral hue will also add a beautiful color addition to your wedding decor. This cocktail is especially good for summer and spring weddings. It consists of Aperol, prosecco, soda and a slice of orange.
Whiskey Sour
Whiskey sours tend to be a fan favorite. This drink is perfect for a classical wedding theme because it’s a classic cocktail. You can personalize it by choosing a fun garnish. When made correctly it’s a sophisticated drink. It consists of whiskey, simple syrup, lemon juice and a garnish of your choice.
Moscow Mule
Everyone loves a Moscow Mule. It’s a sweet and spicy cocktail that caters to everyone’s taste. You can even create personalized copper mugs to give as a party favor, and then everyone has their own cup to drink out of the entire evening. The classic Moscow Mule cocktail consists of vodka (but you can opt for another alcohol like bourbon or tequila), ginger beer and lime juice.
Cool Margarita
What better way to beat the heat at a summer wedding than with a cool margarita? Flavors such as cucumber and watermelon are a perfect choice. Plus, who doesn’t love margaritas? Create a cucumber margarita with a cucumber-infused silver tequila, triple sec, lime juice and agave nectar. Make a watermelon margarita with silver tequila, frozen watermelon, triple sec, lime juice and honey.
Berry Mojito
You can take any mojito recipe to the next level by adding berries. Raspberries are one of the best choices, but you can also use strawberries to create a similar color. Design a berry mojito with the berry of your choice, white rum, club soda, simple syrup and a splash of lime juice.
Vodka Soda
Although not the fanciest of drinks, vodka sodas are universally loved. You can elevate a vodka soda by naming it something fun or personalizing cups. The recipe is simple; all you need is your favorite vodka, sparkling water and a lime to garnish.
Infused Champagne
Champagne is a great way to celebrate weddings. Plus champagne or wine is a good cocktail of choice if you prefer not to serve hard alcohol at your wedding. Berry-infused champagne is the most popular choice, and you can even garnish the glass with fresh berries. Create the perfect infused champagne with frozen blueberries and raspberries, simple syrup, a little splash of vanilla vodka and champagne.
Rosé Punch
All you need for a rosé punch is moscato, frozen strawberries, lemon lime soda and simple syrup. It’s one way to skip the spirits altogether and it’s super refreshing. Your guests are sure to love this one.
Beer on tap
A wedding trend we’ve seen lately is beer on tap. Your guests can walk up to a craft beer station and fill their glasses with a beer of their choice. It’s a fun and interactive way to get your guests talking during cocktail hour.
Whiskey Blackberry Lemonade
Even if whiskey is not your favorite drink, mixing it with berry lemonade completely elevates the taste. People who already love whiskey will fall head over heels for this one. This drink incorporates whiskey, lemon juice, blackberry juice, tonic water or sparkling wine, a bit of sugar and lavender and fresh blackberries to garnish.
