  Formal elegance.  So something very sophisticated?  Well, martinis are very sophisticated, but there are other things.  What types of alcohol do you like?  That would help me narrow it down.

  @BlueBirdMB our martini idea was fun but i wanted something over ice for some reason.  my personal favorite is a margherita or a a fruity mixed drink. 

  
  

  @RedJacks25 wow they are some great suggestions... i will go through all of them!

  
  

  Not sure if this would come into play at all- it's just me thinking way too much but both of our names begin with a C and wanted to incorporate C squared somehow.  Probably means nothing for this discussion.... but if anyone can think of something fun and creative..im all ears .

  Since you got engaged in St. Martin, at Plum Bay (French side) they serve a tasty little cocktail made with pomegranate, vodka, fresh lime and soda.  Everyone seemed to be drinking them.  The color and name would work for you, but only you will know if you like the taste.
