There have been so many weddings and engagement parties being planned recently that I had to make these cocktails just for them. Recently, there has been a trend for signature cocktails at weddings and wedding events. These signature cocktails bring a fun and unique way for the bride and groom to show their wedding personality and theme.
Today, I am sharing two cocktail recipes that represent his and her cocktails using Ketel One Vodka and Bulleit Rye. The cocktails use different spirits but have one complementary ingredient the ginger syrup that ties them together. I created these signature recipes for the thebar.com website which is a Diageo portfolio brand that provides cocktail recipes, DIY, and entertaining tips.
