As a clever measure to cut the obscene costs of a high-test host bar, many couples are opting to serve rounds of one specific chosen beverage for the cocktail hour ... or even the whole evening.By limiting the "open" bar choices to wine, beer, and an especially-for-you cocktail, the benefits are three-fold:
- guests are deterred from imbibing wildly expensive quantities of top shelf spirits
- a modicum of control is maintained over guests' alcohol consumption
- and ... the addition of the "cute" and/or "creative" factor of a beverage served simply in honor of your newly developed matrimonial tastes
Some fun options include:
Salute! Rusty Nails and Sidecars for everyone!
- a perfect mint julep
- a dry gin martini with a sprig of rosemary
- a sweet manhattan (highly under-rated ... but don't forget the cherry!)
- crystal pitchers of white wine sangria with sliced strawberries and white nectarines
- the French classic, a kir royale
- something blue
- ... or for the romantic, a Rose Martini
Salute! Rusty Nails and Sidecars for everyone!
