1. Meyer Lemon Margaritas

2. Rose Mint Flavored Water

Water infused with fruit, vegetables, or herbs is a simple and elegant addition to your menu. We love the elegance of rose water combined with refreshing mint.

3. The Michelada

If you want to spice up your signature drink, add micheladas to your menu! This beer drink is savory, spicy, and unexpected. We suggest serving it as the signature cocktail at a casual backyard wedding or a hip brunch wedding.

4. The Mint Julep

This quintessential Southern drink, made with bourbon, sugar, mint, and crushed ice, is traditionally served in a silver or pewter cup. You could also give guests a taste of Kentucky with a bourbon bar — serve up different bourbon brands with ginger, simple syrups, flavored water, and soda as mixers.
