Wedding season beckons just around the corner and if you’re taking the plunge and getting hitched this year, first of all – congratulations! Second, have you chosen which mobile wedding bar to hire? And third, what are you planning on giving your loved ones to drink?
If you’re currently stuck for ideas but know you want to really impress, what about considering some vegetable-based cocktails, thrown in there among the more traditional fruity ones?
This would tie in so well with the wellness trend for weddings and you could easily make them just as delicious but even more nutritious by offering mocktail versions, as well. If anyone tries to tell you that carrot and apple juice isn’t one of the tastiest flavour combinations out there, we’re here to fight your corner!
And what about beetroot and tequila? If you haven’t tried this particular concoction, you’re in for a real treat, as the two ingredients complement each other perfectly… and your guests are sure to be wowed by the vibrancy of the drink itself. Want to up the ante? Chuck a bit of Ancho chilli in there to give it a bit of a surprising kick.
As crowd pleasers go, you can do no wrong with a margarita, but what about using seasonal vegetables to put a little spin on an old classic. It’s spring, going into summer now, so why not mix it up with some strawberry and rhubarb – a really fresh addition to your cocktail menu.
Or for something a little bit more ‘out there’, there’s always asparagus, a favourite among foodies at this time of year. Pair it with gin and vodka for a martini, try it with some tequila to really bring the asparagus flavours out, or pickle your asparagus first for a really intriguing drink!
