The 6 Stages of Creating Your Dream Personalised Wedding Cocktail

Intro­duc­ing your own sig­na­ture wed­ding cock­tail is a splen­did way to infuse an extra lay­er of per­son­al charm into your cel­e­bra­tion. If the world of mixol­o­gy isn’t your forte, nav­i­gat­ing the process can seem daunt­ing. Fear not! Here are 6 straight­for­ward point­ers to assist you in cre­at­ing a deli­cious sig­na­ture cock­tail that res­onates with your per­son­al­i­ties and seam­less­ly har­monis­es with your wedding.

1 — Embrace Indi­vid­ual Creations 

Rather than attempt­ing to encap­su­late every nuance in a sin­gle bev­er­age, many cou­ples opt for their own indi­vid­ual cock­tails. This approach not only expands guest options but also pro­vides you with greater cre­ative lat­i­tude. Ensure the drinks dif­fer dis­tinc­tive­ly, per­haps pair­ing a dark and robust con­coc­tion with a lighter, refresh­ing choice.

2 — Start with Famil­iar Favourites 

Amidst the abun­dance of cock­tail options, nar­row­ing down your selec­tion might seem over­whelm­ing. When in doubt, begin with your favourite order from a Sat­ur­day night out­ing. Iden­ti­fy the preva­lent flavours and spir­its in those drinks. Remem­ber, cock­tails gen­er­al­ly align with four pri­ma­ry cat­e­gories: strong, sour, sweet, and low alcohol.

3 — Infuse Trend­ing Flavours 

If your pref­er­ence leans towards vod­ka and a mix­er, con­sid­er employ­ing them as your cock­tail base and infus­ing trend­ing flavours cur­rent­ly cap­ti­vat­ing palates. 2023’s drink trends lean towards flo­ral and herbal notes, like elder­flower, laven­der, and rosemary.

Extra Tip: While dis­cussing flavour, ensure your cock­tail pairs well with any accom­pa­ny­ing food to cre­ate a har­mo­nious culi­nary experience.
