    I love the drink menu idea! I usually always get the same drinks because I haven't actually taste tested a bunch before LOL. I like the idea of trying something new Smiley smile

    Usually order Amaretto Sour or Amaretto w/ Orange

    I would love to have Piña Coladas or Strawberry Daiquiris !! I know they're blended and not ideal but those are my favorite drinks!

    @Tach, I would love blended drinks, and I am a fan of both that you mentioned, but that isn't something you can typically do - most wedding halls don't have the equipment to do any way.

    Beer, wine, some kind of fruity drink. Beer for people who don't like fruity drinks(light beer is the most popular. So, I suggest not doing something like Guinness unless that specific beer has some sort of special meaning). Wine for the wine drinkers(1 red and 1 white). And any kind of tini(other than a martini) is usually a hit(appletini, peartini, pomegranitetini, watermelontini, etc.). You don't actually need that big a variety.

    I love when couples have a specialized drink they create! My usual drink is blueberry vodka and sprite. For our wedding we plan on creating our own special drink and will also have a martini ice sculpture bar for our cocktail hour.

    We are serving two that we absolutely love: the orange creamsicle and the tootsie roll. But they aren't really personalized. Delish tho!!

    And based on our families, it will be largely bud light and bud beer. We are going to bring a case of our favorite white wine (an Ohio Aurora Cream White from a local winery), along with 1/2 case off Sparkling Moscatto and 1/2 case of Aurora Cream Red. My Dad is also making red wine specially for the wedding (and it is YUMMY!!)!! He's so awesome! That's why we are only buying 1/2 case of red.

    I love me an Adios :]. I don't like beer or wine, so I definitely appreciate your options for mixed drinks, even if it's just one signature drink haha. I think Cherry flavored Vodka with Cherry Pepsi which I recently discovered is really good! I don't step outside my box too often so a "menu" would be a really cute idea & give me that push to try something new too.

    I am a light beer kind of girl. If I drink the harderstuff, I usually go for Captain and Diet or a Malibu Bay Breeze.

    Have you considered signature drinks that match your theme(if you have one). Cate's Venue provides her with 3 signature drinks. She has decided to rename them.

    The Blushing Bride will be..........The Pink Peonie

    Stoli Orange Vodka, Raspberry Liqueur,

    Pineapple Juice, Splash of Cranberry Juice

    Topped with Champagne

    Something Blue ..............Blue Snapdragon

    Malibu Rum, Blue Curacao, Pineapple Juice

    Wedding Cake Martini.......... White Rose Bud

    Stoli Vanilla Vodka, Malibu Rum, Pineapple Juice and Grenadine

    I generally will order a cranberry & vodka or a glass of champagne. If they have flavored vodka (if I can see it where I'm ordering), I'll get that with cranberry.

    I like the idea of a little drink menu - I would like to order something else but I don't want to stand there saying "Do you have this? Do you know how to make that?" especially if the bar is busy.

    At weddings, i always stick with white wine. It's classy, i enjoy it, and if i spill it on myself, more then likely, i won't stain my clothing, lol
