Ideas for Wedding Drinks You Haven’t Considered Before

The majority of engaged couples prioritize cocktails for their reception drinks on their wedding day. Even while we are big lovers of signature drinks, a wide variety of craft beer, and wonderful wine pairings, the drink selection at a wedding shouldn’t just be confined to alcoholic beverages. It is imperative that you give some attention to each and every beverage, alcoholic or non-alcoholic, that will be served at your event in order to make it an unforgettable experience for your visitors.

 

You have found the ideal place if you are looking for original ideas for wedding drinks that will astonish and excite your guests on your big day. We have all the ideas you could possibly need, whether you are looking to serve creative alcoholic cocktails. These savory options do not contain alcohol, drinks that are inspired by desserts, or something in between.

 

Here you will find unique wedding drink ideas as special as you and your partner.

 

Wine and Beer Tasting

There is nothing wrong with providing your favorite beer in cans, bottles, or on draft at your wedding, but there is an option that is more engaging that we really enjoy, and that choice is beer flights. Choose between three and five different kinds of beer, then ask your bartender to pour each one into a taster glass. Your guests will have a great time sitting back, relaxing, and enjoying themselves as they try each beer.

 

Smoked Cocktails

Cocktails are an essential component of any celebration party, but there are many ways in which you may personalize and elevate the drinks that you serve. In order to add woody overtones to your sips, ask your bartender about smoking the glassware before your trademark drink is added to the glass. This is a particularly delicious suggestion for mixed drinks that have a base of whiskey or rye.

 

Large-Scale Cocktails

Do you plan to have a simple ceremony for your wedding? Create and serve cocktails in large quantities. You can prepare them ahead of time and then let the visitors add their own chosen alcoholic beverages, or you can prepare the base and let them do it themselves. Whatever you do, don’t forget to put the beverage dispensers in a place where everyone in your family and circle of friends can easily reach them and help themselves.

 

Spiked Lemonade

There is nothing more energizing than a tall glass of ice-cold lemonade on a hot summer day. Spiked versions of the drink, which may be made with either vodka or gin, can take the drink to a whole new level of deliciousness. Homemade versions, on their own, are already rather tasty.

 

Hard Cider

In recent years, hard cider has seen a meteoric rise in popularity, and the sweet and subdued flavor profile of this alcoholic beverage makes it an attractive choice for entertaining party guests. In addition, this bubbly drink is so easy to consume that it may be used in place of more expensive sparkling wine or Champagne at toasts without breaking the bank.

 

Alcoholic snow cones

For outdoor weddings in warm weather, slushies are a fun beverage option. Collaborate with your caterer or bartender to come up with original variations that can be produced with rose, Champagne, beer, vodka, gin, or any other preferred alcoholic drink. Guests will find them even more tempting when they are adorned with festive decorations such as edible flowers or gold leaf.

 

Coconut Water

Maintaining your guests’ level of hydration should be a top consideration for any wedding that takes place during the warm summer months or takes place in a tropical setting. Drinks made from fresh coconuts, which may be enjoyed with straws to access the naturally sweet water contained within, are sure to be well received by both you and your guests.

 

Aerated and Sparkling Juices

Do you believe that offering your loved ones sparkling water or effervescent drinks like San Pellegrino won’t be thrilling enough to win their approval? Think again. There is a wide variety of flavors available, and you might be amazed at how many of your guests will be thrilled to discover that you have a delectable nonalcoholic beverage choice available at your party.

Kombucha-Based Drinks

Serving kombucha, an effervescent fermented tea, at your wedding is a fantastic idea, regardless of whether you choose to drink it on its own or as the base for an even more savory cocktail. Kombucha may be enjoyed either way. You might ask your bartender to create a unique combination using kombucha as the main ingredient, or you could try pairing the nutritious and tasty drink with vodka or gin.

 

Frequently asked questions:

What drink is most common at weddings?

Wine is unquestionably the most traditional and well-liked wedding beverage to serve at a wedding or formal event because it appeals to a wide range of guests. A bottle should ideally be purchased for every two persons.

 

How many drinks will I need for my wedding cocktail party?

As it turns out, there’s sort of a secret formula for figuring out how many beverages you’ll need for your wedding: Each person should have at least one drink every hour. (Therefore, you’ll need around 600 drinks for a six-hour wedding with one hundred guests.)

 

What does a wedding reception for drinks entail?

The Drinks Reception usually lasts for around an hour and a half and follows the ceremony. Guests socialize and sip drinks in the lovely setting as pictures are taken. Champagne is the traditional beverage of choice during this time, possibly with bottled beers.
