Simple Spiked Lemonade
This adults only twist on everyone's favorite will make your guests nostalgic for childhood lemonade stands while they're getting rowdy on the dance floor. Add mason jars and a novelty straw for a whimsical look that takes this frat house favorite to the next level. The mason jars can also serve as escort cards, so it's easy for guests to keep track of their drink throughout the night!

Sometimes, you don't even have to get that creative with the drink and ingredients to make a statement with your cocktail. Serving miniature versions of tried and true bar staples, like these mini rum and cokes, are a genius way to offer drink pairings and ensure that your guests make it to the cake cutting.

One factor to take into consideration when planning your signature cocktail is the high sugar content in many of these pretty drinks. While most guests will happily indulge in honor of your wedding, the morning after they may not be pretty if they're suffering from a hangover and a sugar crash. These pretty ombre drinks are sugar-free (the recipe calls for a sugar substitute like Truvia or Splenda) plus cranberries are full of antioxidants so your guests can enjoy these frothy concoctions guilt free!

Bring the heat to your winter wedding with this snowy looking that brings an unexpectedly tropical flavor. Ingredients like blue curaçao and Malibu rum create a taste that will transport your guests to an island paradise, but the blue color and shredded coconut garnish are reminiscent of an enchanting winter wonderland.

"But wait," you might say, "that's a delicious frozen treat, not a cocktail!" These tequila laden margarita pops combine the best of cocktails and desserts into one. These vibrant popsicles are the perfect addition to a dessert table on ice for your summertime wedding reception.
