Summer weddings are all about warmth, joy, and celebration—so your cocktail menu should reflect that! Whether you're planning a sophisticated soirée or a lively garden party, the right drinks can elevate the experience. Here are some perfect cocktail ideas to impress your guests and keep them cool under the summer sun.

Signature Sips: Personalized Cocktail Creations

Nothing makes a wedding more special than a signature cocktail tailored to the couple's love story. Work with a professional mixologist (Like Shake, Stir, Serve!) to craft a cocktail that reflects unique flavors, favorite spirits, or even sentimental ingredients.

• Bride's Choice: Floral-infused vodka lemonade with elderflower

• Groom's Favorite: Smoked old fashioned with a citrus twist

• Couple's Love Story: A refreshing wine spritz with muddled berries.

Refreshing Summer Staples

Some drinks scream summer-light, crisp, and invigorating! These classics are always a hit at warm weather weddings:

• Mojitos: Minty and bright with rum, lime and soda

• Palomas: A perfect blend of tequila, grapefruit, lime, and a salt rim

• Aperol Spritz: A bubbly, sunset-hued drink that feels effortlessly chic

Elevated Mocktails for Every Guest

Whether for non-drinkers, expecting guests, or those who just want a lighter option, offering mocktails ensures everyone feels included.

• Coconut Lavender Lemonade: Creamy coconut water, fresh lemon juice and lavender syrup

• Strawberry Basil Fizz: sparkling water, muddled strawberries, basil and splash of Agave

• Watermelon Mint Cooler: Blended watermelon juice, lime, and fresh mint.

Sustainable & Seasonal Ingredients

Embrace summer's best flavors while being environmentally conscious! Using local and fresh ingredients enhances taste while supporting sustainability.

• Fresh peaches from local farms for bellinis

• Homegrown herbs like basil, thyme or rosemary

• Edible flowers for an elegant aesthetic

Final Toast: Cheers to a Beautiful Summer Wedding!

Curating the perfect cocktail menu brings an extra touch of luxury to your special day. Whether you opt for signature drinks, elevated classics, or a creative mocktail lineup, your wedding will be an unforgettable summer celebration.
