When finding different and creative ways to personalize your wedding, many couples come up with great favor ideas or a logo or icon for the wedding, but a simple idea that won’t give you any additional work is to serve a signature drink.

Signature drinks can range from an original concoction to just changing the name of your favorite drink to fit in with your wedding.

You can select a drink that you and your groom love to drink, one that fits with the feel of your wedding – margaritas for a beach wedding – or find a drink that matches the colors of your wedding.

The drink above is called the UV Pink Lemonade. The recipe is below. You could serve it if your wedding palette has pink in it, or if you’re getting married over the summer and want to serve lemonade with an alcoholic twist. The UV Vodka website has a lot of great recipes that may fit in with your wedding theme and palette, as well as your tastes.

Finding a signature drink for your wedding is something your fiance may be willing to help you with. Or something you can put him in charge of. What guy is going to turn down visiting bars and restaurants to taste test dozens of cocktails?!

UV Pink Flamingo
2 parts UV Lemonade (vodka)
1 part cranberry juice
Splash of triple sec
Shake with ice and strain into a martini glass

We had a martini bar at our wedding to fit in with the retro 1930s-'40s theme. But I only served martinis that fit into the color palette, pastels: clear, pink, green and lavender. I flipped through cocktail recipe books and went to a number of restaurants and bars to find 8 great martinis that wouldn't clash with the wedding. I know I'm crazy.
