Cocktails have become an indispensable element of modern weddings, and planning a menu to please everyone is a dreaded task combining the utmost intellect and tact. While a well-stocked bar of gins, tonics and fizz was once all a bartender needed, now the wedding cocktail menu heralds a new environment calling for increasingly spicy, sophisticated, and sexy combinations. So whether you’re in need of guidance or you’re just nosy, we’re sharing the most popular and exciting options that are currently dominating the wedding scene.
SPICY MARGARITAS
It’s heating up across the wedding scene with chili, and jalapeño peppers increasingly infiltrating the pages of sophisticated cocktail menus. In the heat of romance, chilis join this much adored classic in perfect Margarita matrimony.
PICANTE
From the pan and into the fire, based on the much- loved Margarita, the Picante is gaining somewhat of a chokehold over wedding guests afar. This Soho House magnum opus, combines Tequila reposado with coriander, red chilli, lime and agave providing a perfectly refreshing yet equally warming sensation. Bold and spicy flavours with unexpected twists, it’s no wonder this cocktail has become a chart-topper.
Palomas
Next up in the brigade driving Tequila’s cocktail takeover is the fabulously punchy Paloma. Tequila, lime and grapefruit dance together to provide the ultimate sweet to zesty to tart balance, along with its beautiful pink hue colour it’s an effortlessly graceful yet satisfying cocktail.
STRAWBERRY HUGO
While on the whole gin hasn’t quite struck the wedding scene with the same vehemence, Strawberry Hugo’s are quite the exception. Our unique recipe balances flavours of gin, Aperol, strawberries elderflower, and mint for a beautifully refreshing and severely addictive candidate.
ESPRESSO MARTINI
The Espresso Martini to the dancefloor enthusiast, holds the same significance as electrolytes to the athlete. Just when you think the movements are becoming ever more clumsy, and the shapes ever more abstract, roll out the knights in cocoa-dusted armour, the final line of defence. Riding in on vodka and indulgent notes of chocolates and coffee, conjuring up a second wind as they bolt through the crowd. While this always goes down as a classic treat, we like to make things interesting with Espresso martini variations that keeps everyone guessing. Alternatives like chilli chocolate or salted caramel springs to mind, or make the most of our bespoke service to design a perfectly splendid espresso martini tailored to your desires.
