Today in looking through the events I have booked for 2010 I was noticing that a lot of them are in the warmer months of July, August and September. Keeping this in mind when menu planning last year for our warmer weather weddings I took the traditional idea of a passed cocktail and simplified with more flavor and less alcohol. For instance for this wedding of our British James Bond groom and Sweet Southern Belle we decided to take the flavors they loved (in this case peach and mint) and just simply add a classic sweetened tea.
As you can see it was a beautiful passed beverage, but we were able to offer them to guests of all ages and preferences while really quenching the thirst which is the main purpose of the passed cocktail in the first place. Perhaps have a carafe at the bar with some Firefly Vodka or Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka for those guests that do want a little touch of something stronger in theirs. The William Aiken House staff made sure that each drink was picture perfect.
Your guests will end up with thirst quenched and less of a headache the next day.
