My FI and I have decided to do beer, wine, and his and her drinks. He has chosen an old fashioned for his drink but I don't know what to choose for mine. I'm trying to stay away from martinis so we don't have to rent a different type of glass. The wedding is this September at a vineyard.

    Consider a vodka/raspberry lemonade. You can add a splash of gingerale or sprite to give it a bit of fizz.

    We did this drink with white wine, because our venue didn't allow hard liquor. It was a huge hit.

    If the wedding is at a vineyard, I'd consider doing a wine cocktail.  Maybe something with champagne?

    I think I might shy away from a wine cocktail since you will be at a winery and there are already wine choices. It seems like the signature drinks could appease those who don't drink wine or beer. I agree that a vodka drink would be good, it's a pretty popular liquor. An old fashioned is a pretty strong drink so I might choose something sweet to even it out.

    We are planning to do strawberry daquiris as one of our drinks and our bartender will make them green since olive green and navy blue are our colors. I would make one a sweeter drink. I know I am not a big drinker and I like a sweeter drink as I don't like beer or wine

    I think I might do a "dirty shirley" which is vodka, sprite, and grenadine and we'll call it a "blushing bride" (and call the old fashioned "something old"). I think it's cute because it's sweet and vodka like you all suggested. But I also used to drink them a lot in college so I know my college friends will get a kick out of it and it will bring back some good memories. Thanks for all your help!
