Julia’s Wedding – Cocktail Hour
A cocktail reception is a perfect time for the guests to socialize and eat a range of delectable canapes. Julia and Simon love the idea of a cocktail hour as it adds to the ‘black tie’ theme, and provides variety to the traditional wedding and speeches. A lot of people think of summer when they think of cocktails, however winter cocktails are just as tasty and refreshing. Try some of these out for yourself:
Pomegranate/Cranberry Champagne Cocktail
Perfect for the toasts- blend bubbly with pomegranate or cranberry juice.
Mojito Sparkler
Stunning blend of rum, lime juice, fresh mint and sugar- add some soda for a bit of a sparkle.
White Chocolate Cherry Martini
Combine ice with white chocolate liqueur, vanilla-flavoured vodka, maraschino liqueur and Irish cream liqueur and garnish with a chocolate covered cherry.
Choco Mocha Mint Cocktail
Blend chocolate liqueur with peppermint schnapps and coffee and top with whipped cream and a mint leaf.
