I just love a signature drink!
The thought, presentation and recommendation of a signature drink is the perfect extra touch to your bar.
Today, I am sharing some favorite winter wedding (or party) signature drink recipes!
The Caramel Apple Martini:
1 oz. Baileys Irish cream
1/2 oz. apple schnapps
1/2 oz. butterscotch schnapps
2 oz. half-and-half or whole milk
coarse sugar
ground cinnamon
1. Rim glass with coarse sugar mixed with cinnamon. 2. For each cocktail, pour all ingredients into a drink shaker. 3. Fill shaker with ice then shake and strain cocktail into a chilled glass, with or without ice.
Pomegranate Champagne Cocktail:
1 oz. chilled pomegranate juice or chilled cranberry juice (2 tablespoons)
3 oz. chilled champagne (6 tablespoons)
1 teaspoon pomegranate seeds (optional)
For each serving, pour the pomegranate juice into a champagne flute. Slowly add champagne.
Garnish with pomegranate seeds (optional). Serve immediately.
Cranberry Margarita:
1 1/2 cups cranberry juice cocktail
3/4 cup fresh lime juice
3/4 cup tequila
1/2 cup orange-flavored liqueur, such as Cointreau or Triple Sec
ice cubes
Stir all ingredients together until blended.
Serve over ice in sugar- or salt-rimmed glasses, garnished with fresh cranberries and lime wedges if desired.
Honeycrisp Apple Sangria:
3 cinnamon sticks
2 honeycrisp apples, chopped
1 orange, thinly sliced
1 (750 ml) bottle red wine (I suggest a light-bodied Spanish variety)
1 and 3/4 cups apple cider
1/2 cup brandy
1/4 cup orange juice (or juice from 2 medium oranges)
juice from 1 lemon
club soda, to taste
Place the cinnamon sticks, apples, and orange slices in a large pitcher. Add wine, apple cider, brandy, orange juice, and lemon juice. Allow to sit in the refrigerator for 6 – 24 hours.
Taste; if you’d like it to be sweeter, add 1-2 Tablespoons granulated sugar, honey, or agave. If you’d like a cinnamon-sugar rim, simply moisten the rim of your glasses with water, turn the glass upside down and dip it into a mix of cinnamon and sugar.
Pour in the sangria with fruit and add a splash of club soda.
Garnish with a cinnamon stick, if desired.
Toasted Almond Cocktail:
1 oz vodka (or vanilla vodka)
1 oz coffee liqueur
1 oz amaretto
half & half
honey & gold sanding sugar – optional for garnish
1. Dip cocktail glass rim in honey then in gold sanding sugar. Set aside.
2. In a cocktail shaker filled with ice; combine vodka, coffee liqueur, and amaretto. Shake until well chilled and pour into prepared glass.
3. Top with a splash of half & half.
4. Sip & enjoy.
Happy Planning!
