Drink ideas

Keep your wedding guest cool this summer with these unique drink ideas!

This is a great idea for serving lemonade or limeade on a hot afternoon!

Adding an umbrella makes simple drinks fancy and summery! Try color coordinating your drink to your umbrella's for themed weddings. 

Sangria is simple and a drink that everyone loves! You can make it as fancy as you like or as simple, perfect for an outside reception! Recipe below.
2 bottles - cheap (but not gross) dry red wine
1.5 ounces of Brandy
1 can of 7 Up or Sprite
1 ounce of orange juice
2 apples cut up small
2 oranges cut up small
1 lemon sliced
1 lime sliced
Note: the longer you let it sit, the better it gets.



Adding ice with fruit in it is a perfect way to spice up your drinks and add a little flavor. Try putting your favorite fruit in ice trays, or cupcake trays (as shown above), add water and freeze! Simple and stylish! 


Pouring champange over popsicles adds flavor and is a nice decoration that can be used to cool down! See the link below for great popsicle recipe ideas!
