Your Guests Will Love These Fall Wedding Signature Drink Ideas
Your signature drinks are personalized cocktails (or mocktails) that reflect your unique taste and that of your sweetheart. They help create a truly memorable event and typically tie into the wedding's overall vibe. If you're having a
fall wedding, you're in luck because there are so many amazing fall wedding ideas, and the tastes of fall make for amazing signature drinks. Incorporating whiskey, red wine, cider, and autumn spices into your celebratory beverages will enhance your fall wedding with seasonal flavors. Let's explore some favorite fall wedding signature drink ideas.
Fall's Festive Libations
Toast the Season with a Maple Old Fashioned
An Old-Fashioned is a classic and favored signature cocktail for its simplicity and balance of flavors. The boldness of a Kentucky bourbon paired with a subtle sweetness and a hint of bitterness offers a timeless appeal for cocktail enthusiasts. A Maple Old-Fashioned conjures the essence of fall by combining maple syrup's earthy sweetness with bourbon's cozy fireside warmth. With this drink in hand, your guests will surely savor the spirit of fall.
Celebrate Your Love with Local Cabernet Sauvignon
The bold flavors of dark fruits, spice, and oak of Cabernet Sauvignon make it a warming and cozy wine for any autumn occasion, especially your wedding! Your guests will love it paired with hearty autumn meals such as braised short ribs over root vegetables or rich wild mushroom risotto. You can ensure your wedding has a regional touch with local cabernet sauvignon options, such as Brianza Gardens and Winery's small-batch cabernet and Wildside Winery's award-winning bourbon barrel-aged Cabernet.
Spirit-free drinks of autumn
Highlight Seasonal Fruit with Cranberry-Apple Cider Spritzers
Can you think of two fruits that evoke the fall season more than cranberries and apples? Combining them into one signature mocktail spritzer makes a perfect signature drink for your fall nuptials. This drink calls for spiced apple cider, cranberry juice (it must be unsweetened because the tart will balance the cider's sweetness), sparkling water, orange bitters, and fresh cranberries to float on top for garnish. Apples and cranberries pair extraordinarily well together, and this drink will refresh your guests with sweetness and tang.
Warm up the Kiddos with Chai Spiced Hot Cocoa
Chai spiced hot cocoa blends the creamy richness of traditional hot chocolate with warming autumnal spices such as cinnamon, cardamom, and cloves. It's the perfect hot beverage to complement the season, and the kiddos at your reception will absolutely love it! It adds a fun, thoughtful touch to ensure everyone can celebrate with a signature drink.
Pro Tip: you'll gain major bonus points with the little ones in your life if you add a topping station that lets them pile on the marshmallows!
