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,

Supplies:- White wine
- Ginger Ale
- Peach Schnapps
- Glass
- Sugar
- Lemon
Directions:
- 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.
- 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)
- 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.
