If you’re looking to add a personal touch to your wedding day, consider crea ng your own flavored drink for your guests to try out. Instead of the typical fruit punch or lemonade, how about trying something different? Since you purchase these by the batch, they are less expensive than paying per drink. For those guests that are 21 and over, we also offer alcoholic batch drinks. Be crea ve! Doesn’t a watermelon margarita or a blueberry-lavender vodka spritzer sound amazing?. If you have an idea of what you want, we can help you customize it. If you are looking for ideas, we will be crea ng a sheet of the most popular op ons and sending it out over the next month or so. Ask us about adding these yummy beverages to your package today!
