5 creative drink ideas to keep your wedding guests
happy and hydrated
By Renee Lee, CTW Features
You’ve got the wine, you’ve got the beer and now it’s on to the cocktails.
With alcohol and bars available at most weddings, it can be hard to
stand out with unique choices. Here are five expert ways to up your
drink game.
1. LET GUESTS BUILD THEIR OWN
Do-it-yourself is in! From homemade favors to upcycled Mason jars and
make-your-own mimosas, it’s all about personal touches. Let your guests
take part in the fun too with a DIY cocktail bar. Build-your-own bloody
mary setups have been all the rage.
To make things extra special, offer unique ingredients. Instead of
store-bought mix, infuse heirloom tomatoes into water to add an
extra touch of freshness to drinks. It can also be used as a martini base
with ingredients like peppers, pickled vegetables or unique salts like
mushroom.
For build-your-own bars, complete the setup with different bottles of
alcohol and colorful flowers to make everything pop.
