In just a few months, the al fresco drinks will be out ☀️
The most popular choices tend to be citrus Aperol Spritz and classic minty fresh Pimms - delicious! Could it all change this year?
2025 could bring back Frozé or maybe a range of different flavoured Mojitos. What are your taste buds requesting?

Wedding Drinks: A Little Guide

You can have a lot of fun when it comes to deciding on your wedding drinks. Let us help you figure out how much you might need.

Here’s an idea of what you could get from each kind of bottle:
* One bottle of wine = 5 serves
* One case of wine = 12 bottles (60 serves per case)
* One 750ml bottle of spirits or liqueur = 30 standard shots (25ml each)
* One bottle of beer = 1 serve
* Allow 2 glasses of sparkling wine per guest for welcome drinks, 1 per guest for toasts.
* If serving only beer and wine, plan for 20% beer, 80% wine

Cocktails are always a popular addition! And an easy way to include an alcohol-free option.

Have you ever been at an event, about to be seated at the dinner table, and asked yourself “which godforsaken house wines am I going to be forced to drink and how convincing can I be pretending to enjoy them?
We know the WH team my be slightly trickier guests seeing as we know our drinks well, so our New Year’s resolution will be to practice a bit of gratitude… but for now we want the good stuff. And that’s exactly what we serve 👌🏽

OYSTERS & ALCOHOL FUN FACTS! 🦪🥂

1. Oysters can help with some hangover symptoms, like dehydration, because they contain nutrients that help the body rehydrate. Oysters also contain zinc, which can help the liver process alcohol more efficiently.

2. Oysters can create an aphrodisiac effect when consumed with alcohol. The chemicals in oysters can help convert alcohol into serotonin in the brain. 

3. PAIRINGS

Champagne: A classic pairing with oysters, with the bubbles and bready flavor contrasting with the smooth texture of oysters 

Muscadet: A classic pairing with oysters, with notes of green fruit 

Gin: A gin martini or gin & tonic pairs well with oysters, especially Hendricks gin, which has cucumber notes that complement the oysters 

Scotch whisky: The saline in the oyster liquor can open up the Scotch, revealing flavors like orange peels, ripe bananas, and fresh-baked bread 

Viognier: The higher alcohol content of Viognier can mitigate the salty brine of the oyster 

Fino Sherry: Accents the salty brine of the oyster
