FAQ – Everything you need to know about wedding cocktails

1. Which cocktails are suitable for every wedding? Fruity cocktails such as a mango passion spritz are ideal for outdoor summer weddings, while creamy drinks such as the chocolate mint dream are perfect for elegant evening celebrations. Classic options such as a rosemary grapefruit fizz are always popular as they are timeless and stylish. Combine different flavors to suit your guests' preferences.
2. How many cocktails should I plan per guest? - A good rule of thumb is to plan two to three cocktails per guest, depending on how long your celebration will last. Complement the selection with other beverages such as wine, sparkling wine, and non-alcoholic options. If you are planning an open bar, it is a good idea to plan for a few extra cocktails so that no one goes without.
3. Can cocktails be prepared in advance? - Yes, many cocktails are great for preparing in advance! Drinks such as punches or cocktails can be stored in large jugs or drink dispensers. However, garnishes such as mint leaves, fruit slices, or fresh herbs should only be added just before serving to ensure freshness and visual appeal.
4. What glasses should I use for wedding cocktails? Instead of traditional glasses, opt for high-quality cocktail cups. Copper cups, for example, add a touch of elegance to any drink and enhance the experience for your guests. They also keep drinks cooler for longer and look fantastic in photos!
5. What if I'm on a tight budget? - Don't worry – you can still serve great cocktails even on a smaller budget! Opt for simple recipes with a few high-quality ingredients. DIY cocktail stations are a great way to save money while offering your guests an interactive experience. You can also use seasonal ingredients, which are fresher and cheaper.
6. Do I really need a professional bartender? - A bartender is a great option if you want everything to run smoothly, especially for larger weddings. They will ensure that the drinks are mixed professionally and that your guests are well looked after. For smaller celebrations, you can also opt for DIY cocktail stations where guests can mix their own drinks. A nicely designed instruction sheet or pre-prepared ingredients make this particularly easy.
