One of my favorite wedding trends is serving a signature cocktail. Usually the couple will have a “his” and “her’s” cocktails that are their favorites. I’ve also seen couples name a signature drink after their pets. There are tons of custom signature drink signs available on Etsy. If it was our event, Clay would choose a smoked old fashion, also known as a smoking gun, which you could make using this cool drink smoker. My signature cocktail that I would serve at my wedding would hands down be this spicy cucumber margarita – and it’s a mix!
I’m not usually a fan of mixes, they always taste too artificial or too sweet. But this Casamigos mix tastes so fresh just like a hand crafted cocktail from a nice restaurant. I recently discovered this spicy cucumber margarita mix at William-Sonoma, it’s a best seller for good reason! If you’re looking for ways cut costs on your budget or just looking for fun drinks to serve at your engagement party, you could create this cocktail without hiring a bartender or a mixologist. Either way, I guarantee your guests will be coming back for more than one of these spicy margs.
Here’s what you need to make this delicious spicy cucumber margarita for your next event:
