Signature Drink Ideas!?

tobefletcher

We are looking for a fruity, fun signature drink to serve to kick-off our cocktail hour.  I have explained many times to my Fiance that a Jack & Coke won't cut it ( :  Any ideas for a drink that can be easily made?  I love a mojito, but not an ideal drink to make in bulk for 70 guests.  Appreciate any ideas!

Thanks ladies!

This is one of my personal favorite vacation cocktail
Of course you can tweak it and name it whatever... I just typed in the ingrediants in google and this is the version I found...

Caribbean Romance

Ingredients:
1.0 oz Amaretto
1.0 splash Grenadine
1.5 oz Orange juice
1.5 oz Pineapple Juice
1.5 oz White Rum
Directions: Pour the rum, amaretto, orange juice and pineapple juice into a cocktail shaker that is half-filled with ice cubes. Shake well. Strain into a highball glass filled with ice cubes, and float grenadine on top. Garnish with slices of orange, lemon or lime, and serve.

With this kind of drink, the mix can be pre-made, then the bartender just needs to shake with ice, and splash the grenadine.  We garnish it with a pineapple wedge... delicious snack when the glass is empty!!

We are doing a mojito and also a wine-based drink with lots of fruit called Tinto de Verano, which is very popular in Spain.

Sangria would be fun, or I had a fun margarita at the ocean club that had a tiny piece of dry ice, so it was steaming.
