Beach themed martinis and tropical drinks for your beach wedding
By offering beach themed martinis or tropical drinks, you will start to create the theme for your wedding. You can even personalize your specialty drink by incorporating your names. Have a sign positioned at the bar with the name of your drink and the recipe. When you offer a special tropical drink in a tall glass garnished with skewered fresh fruit and a little umbrella, you are setting the mood for your wedding.
By passing a beach themed martini as your guests arrive to your cocktail reception, it will cut down on the rush to the bar. Martini glasses make a great wedding favor. Everyone loves having a couple additional martini glasses to add to their collection. And every time your friends and family use those glasses they will be reminded of you and the beach themed martinis they were served at your wedding.
