How to pick the right name

Tell your story

The best names point to something guests know about you: where you met, a pet, a hometown or a favorite trip.

Name the base drink

Guests choose by flavor. Putting mule, spritz, margarita or martini in the name tells them what they are getting before they order.

Include everyone

Add at least one named mocktail for kids, drivers and guests who skip alcohol, and put it on the same sign as the cocktails.

Keep the sign short

Two or three drinks, each with a name and three main ingredients, read quickly from the bar line.

Frequently asked questions

What should I name my wedding signature cocktail?

Start with the drink, then add a love or wedding pun: Happily Ever Mule, Mai Tai the Knot or Marry-garita. Many couples also name a drink after a pet, a first-date spot or a shared joke.

What are good his and hers cocktail names?

Try Mr. Right Martini with Mrs. Always Right Spritz, or Groom's Gold Rush with Bride's Blush. Couples who share everything can serve one drink called Theirs Truly.

What are good wedding mocktail names?

Flower Girl Fizz, Mock-scow Mule, Sapphire Promise Lemonade and Zero-Proof Vows all work. Give mocktails names as fun as the cocktails so every guest feels included.

How many signature drinks should a wedding have?

Most couples choose one or two, often one for each partner, plus at least one mocktail. A short menu keeps the bar line moving and the cost predictable.

How do you display signature drink names at a wedding?

Put a small sign or framed menu on the bar with each drink's name, main ingredients and a line about why you chose it. A photo of the pet or place that inspired a drink is a sweet touch.
