When it comes to infusing some Latin flare into your reception, food and drink is a great place to start. You can use your bar and catering to set up a theme, and help carry it throughout your party. Looking for a great place to start? Why not come up with a signature drink or two to get the fun started? Here’s our list of the top five Latin themed cocktails:
1. Sangria:
This completely delicious Spanish punch includes red wine, fruit, sugar and brandy.
2. Mojitos:
The classic Cuban favorite! Personalize them to your own tastes (and wedding colors) by making them raspberry, coconut, or even chocolate flavored!
3. Margaritas:
On the rocks or blended, these Mexican tequila based drinks are always a big hit with guests. Try spending the weekend with your hubby-to-be thinking through a few signature recipes with cool names.
4. Caipirinha:
The national drink of Brazil, Caipirinhas are cool, refreshing, and wildly tasty—making them especially perfect for those outdoor spring weddings!
5. Cola de Mono:
Condensed milk, coffee, and brandy… delicious! (But watch out, too many of these and your best man may act like he’s the monkey).
