Signature Drinks!!

Let’s say you’re planning your wedding reception.  I’m sure by now you have been clued into the many decisions you’ll have to make:

  • Sit down dinner?
  • Open bar?
  • Buffet?
  • Knee length or full length tablecloths?
  • Special songs?
  • Cocktail hour before dinner?
  • Cocktails with dinner?

So many questions!! and while you may not answers to these questions, your wedding planner can help you decide what fits your style and budget for the hardest and simplest questions.  Now you are left alone with a much more fun question to answer (fun research!).

What will your signature cocktail be?!?

I can help with that 😉

I recently stumbled upon a really entertaining and intriguing site drinkify.org.  It’s objective is pure fun and entertainment, but since when do we mind that?  You type in the music you are listening to and… THEY TELL YOU WHAT TO DRINK!!!  Obviously the music sets the mood and the alcohol just makes it more fun.  So- match your signature wedding drink to your favorite artist!!!

Maybe Boyz II Men has the song you will dance to all night on one of their records, then might we (drinkify.org) suggest a light coconut milk mixture?
Perhaps high energy music like Michael Jackson or Backstreet Boys are your thing, well, turn to a bar full of Red Bull!
If you like the music of the B-52s then mix up a drink with Red Bull, Horilka and Bitters.
Yanni music lovers should provide just plain, romantic red wine.
At a destination wedding to the beach maybe you’ll play lots of Bob Marley… Drinkify.org will tell you that you should mix redbull and ginger ale.

Some artists that you plug in don’t spit out a cocktail but rather a suggested alcohol base.  Don’t be disappointed!!  You can use this connection to your wedding and plug it into other sites I found and… voila!… signature cocktail. 🙂

www.drinksmixer.com is a site that has a searchable menu for mixed drinks.  Even if you are not looking for a signature wedding cocktail.  This site is really fun to play and experiment with, for all occasions!  Strictly for research purposes, of course 😉

If you are having a girls night in, listening to… let’s say Spice Girls.  Drinkify.org will tell you to drink vodka on the rocks.  Then you can scoot over to www.drinksmixer.com and find … The Blue Lady!  or perhaps a delicious Absolute 600 would be more to your taste.

Whatever you use these sites for, and I’m sure you can figure out some really fun stuff, make sure you think of me when you mix those drinks.  (Maybe even send me one if you want.)

What will the signature cocktail be at your wedding?

cheers!!
