B Y TAT T E R S A L L D I S T I L L I N G Beer and wine are fine, but if you want to take your reception to the next level, it’s all about the signature craft cocktail. At Tattersall, we’ve developed a wide range of wedding cocktails with flavor and flair your guests won’t forget. And with a little planning, they won’t break the bank. Here are a few tips to get you started. THE PERFECT PAIR Choose two drinks, one for you and one for your groom or bride. That way, you can showcase your unique styles and give your guests options. IT'S ALL IN A NAME Get creative with the drink names or stick with the originals. Pro tip: either way, make a sign that lists the ingredients so your guests know what to expect. SHOWCASE THE SEASON Have at least one option that reflects the temp — think refreshing in summer, warmer in winter. And adding a seasonal ingredient or garnish always goes a long way. THE FUN PART: TASTE TESTING Here are two of our go-to wedding drinks that work well together or on their own. They can also be batched ahead of time to make it easier on the bartenders at your reception.
