Cheers

For a lot of people the thought of planning a wedding makes them want to start drinking, or so I’ve been told. This is the inspiration behind my post this week. While browsing Pinterest for ideas, I came across a post for a wedding signature cocktail, and it peaked my interest. I had never thought of alcohol as a means of personalizing my wedding.

Now, John and I are both not big drinkers, and the alcoholic drinks we do enjoy are very different. I am strictly a vodka kind of girl (even though I am experimenting with wine currently) and John is a Crown Royale kind of guy. So finding a signature drink that will express both of our personalities might be tricky.

As inspiration for this post I chose to make a variation on a peachy white wine sangria recipe I found online. If you’re interested in reading about some other alcohol inspired exspiritments, check out this blog.

Supplies:

1. White wine
2. Ginger Ale
3. Peach Schnapps
4. Glass
5. Sugar
6. Lemon

Directions:

1. This step can also be done with water, but I took some lemon and rimmed the glass. I then used some festive sugar, which I had laying around my house, to create a rim on the glass.
2. I then added 1oz of Peach Schnapps and equal parts Ginger Ale and White Wine to fill the glass (this amount with vary depending on size of glass)
3. I also decided to add a ribbon to the glass as decoration. If this drink were to be used at my wedding, I think the ribbon just adds something extra to the experience.

While I enjoyed this drink quite a bit, I don’t think John will. Meaning I think we will need to eventually think up another idea for our signature drink. But if wedding planning ends up being as stressful as I’m told, testing out a few signature drink options might not be so bad.
