Specialty cocktails are a great way to personalize your bar and help limit the wait times. We recommend 2-3 to keep it simple while also offering your guests a nice variety. Go simple with a “His”, “Hers”, “Ours” or incorporate personalized names like “Sarah’s Strawberry Smash” or “Mike’s Hard Lemonade”. Below are our suggested cocktails and while you don’t have to pick off this list, we know these go over well.
