Suggestions for a Signature Drink for my beach wedding?

Hey Everyone,





I'm having a beach wedding on a budget. Instead of doing a tacky cash bar or skipping alcohol altogether, we are doing kegs of beer, red wine, white wine, blush wine and a signature mixed drink to go with our theme.





I'm looking for tasty suggestions for fun beach drinks. Please do not suggest Bahama Mamas, Blue Hawaii, Pina Coladas or Strawberry Daquiries. I'd like to do something more interesting than those four standard drinks.





I'm allergic to coconut, so nothing with coconut in it. My wedding color is periwinkle, so purple/blue colored drinks would be a total bonus. Do we have any bartenders out there?

Reply:Hi, in the restaurant where I used to workwe had a frozen margarita that was blue - we called it a Blue Monday.





It is made with Tequila, Triple Sec, Sweet %26amp; Sour (margarita Mix) and Blue Curacao.





Blue Curacao %26amp; Triple Sec both are liquers that taste like orange - it is just blue for decorative purposes. So, since margaritas are lime, you end up with a "tropical" orange/lime drink.





It's a good drink that sneaks up on you - and you can get away with making it rather inexpensively. You could actually leave the triple sec out, since the blue will give the same flavor.





Also, it can be served either frozen (my fav) or on the rocks!





Congrats!

How to Make a Great Tasting Alcoholic Drink





This is a drink that found completely by accident, but it is a truly beautiful drink!


Steps





1. Get a tall glass (approx. 1/2 pint) and fill it half with fresh orange juice.


2. Add about 1/8 of vodka to it (this is variable depending on how drunk you want to get but remember you need to keep space in the glass for later ingredients)


3. Add a large teaspoon of sweet honey and stir vigourousely until the honey is almost completely dissolved (there will probably still be some stuck to the bottom of the glass, dont worry about this)


4. Pour in approx. 1/8 of drambuie (again this is variable but remember you need the space)


5. Carefully sprinkle a level teaspoon of sugar onto the top of the liquid and stir (make sure that the sugar doesnt stick to the honey at the bottom)


6. Add about 1/16 of lemon juice (just enough to give it a bit of a kick)


7. VERY CAREFULLY and SLOWLY add some blackcurrant cordial (or similar purple juice i.e Vimto, Ribena etc). If done properly, when left to settle for a minute, this will turn the top half of the drink purple leaving the bottom half yellow, which makes it look very cool!








Tips





* Most of the ingredients here are optional and just add a bit of a different taste to the drink.


* The alcoholic parts could be substituted with other spirits. Experiment a little and see what works best


* Make sure the drink is always served chilled, but WITHOUT ICE. I find leaving the orange juice in the fridge before use usually works


* Bear in mind, if you want to put more alcohol in it, excessive alcohol will ruin its sweet and sour taste


* The glass size does not have to be what I've said here, I just find that it works best in this type of glass, however if you want to use a pint glass this works just as well, you simply need more of the ingredients








Warnings





* Make sure you dont stir the drink after you've added the blackcurrant cordial. This ruins the effect and makes it look like a horrific car wreck of a drink


* Don't leave the alcohol lying about after you've finished if there are animals or children that can get their hands, paws, claws, hooves or stumps on it. This will be a waste of perfectly good alcohol








Things You'll Need





* Reasonably sized tall glass (about 1/2 pint works best)


* 2x tea spoons


* Fresh orange juice (not that diluted orange cordial crap)


* Vodka


* Sweet honey


* Drambuie


* Sugar


* Lemon juice


* Blackcurrant cordial or similar
