Signature drink ideas?

I'm trying to come up with a refreshing, not too sweet drink to server at our reception. I would like something spring since our wedding is in April and easy to make so we don't have to pay an additional cost for the drink.

I thought of a mojito ... does anyone have a great mojito recipe to share? Also considered a kachumber cooler, which has cucumber in it.

I saw this morning on food network an iced tea cocktail...

64 oz. iced tea
32 oz. bottle lemon flavored vodka
2/3 cup sugar

mix it together in a pitcher, pour into glasses and top off with lemon-lime soda

you could make a big batch and make it ahead it sounds like, sounds good if you like iced tea

I saw that recipe, too.  It sounds great.  It might be a good idea to have a drink that coordinates with your wedding colors.  Check the food network website for some ideas.  Also, I saw a great champagne drink on My Fair Wedding with David Tutera.  It's a Pink Lady: Rose Korbell Champagne and pink lemonade.  Hope this helps.

Thank you! This sounds very similary to a "half and half" with alcohol, which would be great since we both love half and halfs.

I'm a big fan of pomegranate mojitos.  A white wine sangria is also a really great spring drink, and really easy to whip up in large batches.

i LOVE tom collins . It's basically an alcoholic version of lemonade.  It's kind of an old school drink, but it's yummy.
