A beautiful moment.
Right before the ceremony begins and the light hits just right. Once in a while we’re able to snap a sneaky pic of our couples custom cocktails ✨

Creating customized drinks that bring out our couples personality in their cocktails is one of our favorite things to do and a benefit of choosing our “Better” or “Best” packages. Each cocktail is different - not one cocktail is the same from event to event.

Here’s to & for trusting us with their cocktails. These two were 🔥

His - Blanco Tequila, Lime, Mandarin Liqueur, Smoked Habanero Syrup & Dehydrated Lime.

Hers - French Gin, Blackbery, Lemon & Cucumber.

When I find something new at the liquor store - I get an itchy feeling in my hands & somehow it ends up in the cart. (Especially if it’s bitter). I first experienced Noveis’ Amaro when working at a while back and I quickly fell in love. So when I saw they had a Bitter Liqueur you know I had to grab it. This stuff is delicious 🔥 Tasted like a softer, more citrus forward Suze. Notes of Gentian and dried orange with a bittersweet finish. Needless to say, I’m going to be using this a lot this summer. 👌🏼

ALPINE SUMMER
1.5oz .rum 5 Year5oz Noveis Bitter Liqueur75oz Fresh Lime Juice
2 barspoons Apricot Marmalade
Caribbean Spiced Bitters
Egg White

Add all ingredients into a shaker without ice (hold bitters). Dry shake, add ice & shake again. Double strain into a coupe and garnish with Caribbean Spice Bitters. Enjoy 🍍☀️
