Are any of you having a signature cocktail? If you're now a Mrs (or Mr) - did you have one? If so, any suggestions?

    We're thinking about serving homemade sangria during our cocktail hour so we can reserve the liquor stash for the actual reception. There are recipes all over the internet and you can make it in large batches and reserve them in the fridge. Get a pretty punch bowl and allow guests to serve themselves. I like homemade sangria because you can control how much alcohol is in it! I like to add fruit to the punch bowl too - orange slices, apple and pear slices, some grapes and strawberries. The fruit soaks up some of the alcohol and tastes DELICIOUS!

    We did two signature cocktails. One for the bride and one for the groom. The bartender pre-made and mixed them so that they were ready to go when people wanted them. They were a big hit and we gave them cute little names. Mine was the purple bird-and it was pineapple juice, coconut rum, curacao and it was delish!

    Oooo... both of those ideas sound great, girls!

    CourtaniaLynn - what's in your sangria?

    Summerstar- your cocktail sounds delish! What was the groom cocktail?

    He had something called a Bear trap-It was just Crown Royal and Mountain Dew. Which sounds scary to me but apparently it is tasty and easy to make :)

    Something Borrwed - Pomegranate Peach Bellini (from one of our favorite restaurants)

    Something Blue - Deep Blue Sea Martini ( we just found a blue drink online).
