5 of our Favourite Wedding Cocktails
Wedding Cocktail Menu
Wedding cocktails won’t ever stop being trendy. While there will always be a place for traditional fizz, cocktails give you the opportunity to brighten up your drinks offering at your reception or evening bar. Usually highly colourful and filled with beautiful garnishes, cocktails bring another styling opportunity to your special day.

Whether you’re looking to greet your guests with a refreshing cocktail after the confetti has been thrown, or kick-start the evening party with something zingy, we’ve put together 5 of our favourite wedding cocktails to inspire.
The Hugo Spritz
Celebratory fizz with a twist. The Hugo Spritz gives Prosecco a refreshing face-lift. This cocktail is perfect for a summer marquee wedding; sipping in the glorious Wiltshire countryside after saying ‘I Do’. Combining elderflower liqueur, Prosecco, lemon and mint, our take on this cocktail includes cucumber, too! Topped with a splash of soda water, it’s cold and crisp, and looks beautiful in an elegant flute.
Jalapeño & Coriander Margarita
This one’s best for your evening bar. Nothing says party like a little bit of spice. It looks its best in a crystal cut whisky tumbler, with half of the rim dipped in paprika, salt and sugar. Tequila, Cointreau, agave and lime are the key ingredients for this cocktail, and fresh chilli livens it up. Coriander adds scent and a bright splash of green, making this short drink a great addition to your wedding bar line-up.
Garden Twirl
Fruity, but fiery. The Garden Twirl includes an invigorating mix of vodka, ginger beer, candied ginger, cucumber, mint and mandarin. Another cocktail we think is great for your wedding evening bar, this long drink pleases sweet tastes but also packs a little punch! The garnishes bring heaps of colour, meaning it also looks fabulous, too.
Fig Negroni
Our Fig Negroni, or ‘Figroni’ as it’s affectionately named, is a negroni lover’s dream. With a deep dark colour from the Antica Formula, the vermouth we use in this cocktail has cherry and almond notes, adding a deeper element. Of course there’s gin, and Campari too, but with fresh fig and rosemary there are plenty of exciting additions to make the senses sing!
Strawberry & Thyme Collins
Packed with colour and fruity flavours, this summery take on a gin and tonic will go brilliantly with a selection of light and fresh canapés. Imagine the photographs of your guests sipping on bright strawberry-red cocktails filled with ice whilst our waiting staff circulate boards of our vibrant green courgette and feta canapés. The perfect scenario for catching up with friends and family after the wedding ceremony. Gin, lemon & thyme syrup, crushed Somerset strawberries and soda.
