Cocktail Help

I want two signature cocktails. (Simple as possible).

I was thinking for the first with cranberry, pinneapple juice and vodka. (Should I just skip the pinneapple juice?)

For the second I was thinking a mohito.  This would have to be made with a mix as the bar tender will not have time to make it traditionally.  Do you think this is too compliated of a drink?

Any other suggestions instead of the mohito?

or should I Do a pina colada cocktail instead?

Maybe this is just me... but a signature cocktail is something a little more unusual than a Vodka-Cran or Mohito... and typically fit the color scheme or theme of the wedding.  Like a winter wedding has a blue drink called a snowflake, or a fall wedding has an apple-tini thingy. 

What colors (or theme) is your wedding?

I agree with Wiscisbliss.  OP, can you post more details about your wedding, and maybe we can come up with something simple that goes with your color/theme/food.  If you and your FI have a favorite drink, that would also be a good sig drink, IMO.

You can have so much fun with this!

Just for inspiration (and, ok I'll be honest: I'm excited and proud of our idea!)...

We're having 'Whiskey in the Jar" for our cocktail (from the Metallica song)...mason jar with ice, and a mix of lemonade, ice tea, whiskey and a dash of cola (looks like straight whiskey). Our 'driving song' is WITJ by Metallica so maybe find somehting like that and go crazy! I kinda hope you tell us some fave songs and tv shows cuz I looove thinking of stuff like that :P

While my signature drinks will be my wedding colors, I don't think a signature drink necessarily has to match wedding colors/theme - isn't it more about providing a liquor option to guests that don't like beer or wine?

OP - Wait, will these by your only hard-alcoholic choices or will you have a full bar? I think that makes a difference in what drinks you choose.

As far as your choices, I like the mojito and my bartender has assured me that it's not too difficult to make, but it may take more time which could potentially hold up the bar line. I would just do a vodka cranberry as the other choice since it's simple and popular (some people may not like adding pineapple juice).
