As a typical Nigerian, if you're not attending a wedding because of the Jollof rice, then you are probably hitting the party because of the drinks.
Talking about drinks, if there are things that shouldn’t be missing or found wanting on your big day, then it’s signature Cocktails!
However, when choosing the signature cocktail you want to serve at your wedding, you should keep in mind that your guests will want to drink what they enjoy, not the type of drinks that suits your palate.
So, if you are going to make choices, it should be signature cocktails that you know will most likely be a choice of the majority or what will be most likely ordered off a menu.
Remember that the choice of your signature cocktails can also set the tone of your wedding, even as much as the event décor, food, and music.
Here are four signature cocktails your guests can sip on – whether fruity, sloshy or a combination of both – to keep cool and refreshed on your wedding day.
#1. Virgin Grapefruit Mojito
Here is a refreshing combo of Pink grapefruit, fresh mint and lime topped with flavoured soda to create the same great taste of a mojito, just without the alcohol that’s sure to make a hit at your wedding!
This mix of tasty flavours will surely delight your guests.
#2. Watermelon Refresher
Fortunately, watermelons are always mostly in season, so how about using seasonal fruit like watermelon in your cocktails.
The recipe is a combination of strawberry and watermelon with a generous splash of vodka and some dashes of basil, ginger and lime.
#3. Coconut Margarita
You don’t need to have a beachside wedding to serve Coconut Margarita at your wedding. However, you can set the tone for your guests and feel the beach vibes with this creamy coconut margarita.
If you are wondering what it’s made from, no doubt coconut milk is included. Including water, and some tequila Blanco and triple sec. It also has a tang that comes from a freshly squeezed lime.
#4. Flor de Caña Piña Colada
If you are having a destination wedding, this classic Piña Colada should make it to your list of cocktails. It has a mix of rum, pineapple juice, and coconut cream all blended with crushed ice that goes gorgeously in a glass.
Your guests will keep wanting more of this bliss in a glass, don’t say we didn’t warn you!
Remember that you don’t have to limit your options to this list and make sure to include these delicious hit cocktails for your guests to toast to a long, happy marriage on your big day
