So now that you’ve decided on a signature drink for your wedding, you have to name it.

At the wedding we went to in LA last October, the couple was inspired by their last name: Motia.  And they served Motia Mojitos.  But if you can’t think of a custom name that fits nicely with your name – last or first – create something fun or flirty. 

Last week I received a number of wedding named cocktails from SKYY Vodka.  I haven’t made the drinks at home so I can’t tell you which one’s my favorite, but I do like the names:

SKYY Wedding Bliss
-2 oz SKYY vodka
-3/4 oz Cinzano vermouth
-Lavender simple syrup
-Vanilla bean
-Chop a half vanilla bean in small pieces width wise and place in a cocktail shaker.  Add lavender syrup and muddle the vanilla bean; crushing the vanilla bean.  Fill the cocktail shaker with ice, add SKYY vodka and Cinzano.  Shake vigorously.  Strain into a martini glass and garnish with fresh flower and vanilla bean.
 
SKYY Father of the Bride
-2 oz SKYY vodka
-Fresh Mint
-Splash of Simple Syrup
-Muddle with simple syrup and ice in a highball glass.

-Splash of cranberry juice
-Pour all ingredients into a shaker. Shake or strain into a martini glass.
 
SKYY Made With Honor

SKYY Proposal

Have you come up with anything creative for your wedding's signature drink?  We called the martinis at our wedding by their traditional names, though if we only chose one we might have used a custom name like,  Tavelin-tini.  Or maybe not.
