A margarita, why not, but then strawberry! To change habits, we add strawberries to this cocktail that smells like the hot sand of Cancun! Crushed ice and of course, tequila, and it almost feels like it...

What are the most popular cocktails for the vin d'honneur?

To help us answer this question, which many of you are asking, we asked for advice from the Cocktail Bar Fin Pallet here are their recommendations.

The elegant cocktails are served in beautiful glassware because the cocktail reception represents a key moment between the wedding ceremony and the dinner. It is therefore important to be able to offer light cocktails, with or without alcohol, to delight the guests and the newlyweds.

It is also important to offer real cocktail entertainment, beyond the classic bar service, in order to mark the spirits of the guests and make this moment unique.

It can therefore be classic cocktails such as mojitos or exotic cocktails that generally appeal to the majority of guests, or “ signature ” cocktails with more original recipes and innovative flavors. We can cite the following cocktails: Classic Mojitos or their variations (red fruits, mango, passion fruit, etc.), Moscow Mule, Aperol Spritz, or Versailles.

What cocktail for a country wedding?

Mr. Mojito explains to us that the ideal cocktail for a country wedding is the mojito: “I would go more specifically with a melon or strawberry mojito. Guests are usually outside, sitting on hay bales or standing. The mojito is served in a glass that is very easy to transport and consume. In addition, it is composed of fresh fruit, it fits perfectly into the theme!

Excluding mojito, South Mixology Events offers you a Saint Germain Spritz: a fresh cocktail made from Elderflower Liqueur, with a slice of cucumber and lime juice, lengthened on ice with Prosecco, a real delight and ideal for an outdoor wedding.

For a country wedding, Fin Pallet recommends exotic or fruity cocktails that will fit perfectly with the theme. These cocktails should be decorated with small edible flowers or dehydrated fruit to recall the rustic and delicate side of the wedding.

The theme of the bar must also go perfectly with the country spirit with, for example, a pallet bar with plant and floral decoration. We can mention a few cocktails such as the Mojito, the Tiki

This is a great idea for her wedding! Indeed, the world of cocktails and mixology is in full development. The cocktail bar will refresh your guests but also liven up your wedding, says Mr. Mojito .

You can enjoy cocktails during the reception, the evening but also during the brunch the next day. Your guests will be delighted to have a cocktail bar to discover the universe of the bartender, taste the creations, and share good friendly moments.

You have to choose the cocktail bar according to your tastes, the universe of the bartender, and also according to your affinity. The feeling is crucial to make your choice of service provider and establishing a relationship of trust, but you must also take into account the ingredients he uses to create his cocktails, and the opinions of his former customers (so do not hesitate to throw a quick look on the internet!).

The South Mixology Events team insists: ensuring the quality of the products and services of your service providers is essential. Also, if they are able to offer you customizable formulas and options, this can only add magic to your wedding!
