Serve refreshing wine smoothies at summer weddings

May 22, 2009 Written by:

With a summer wedding, couples have more of a chance of bright sunshine and beautiful sunsets. However, there is also the potential for temperatures to be fairly high, which can fuel guests thirst for a refreshing alcoholic beverage during the reception.

Though it is easy to suggest serving drinks like margaritas, the high alcohol content of the drink may be a little worrisome for some newly married couples. Instead, how about a wine smoothie?

These drinks are made with wine that has more of a fruit flavor that is blended with ice and fruits. Some appropriate fruit for these drinks include red berries, strawberries, pineapples, blueberries and bananas.

Creating your own drink at your wedding reception is another way couples can add a unique touch to their wedding day. A signature drink, which may carry a name that is special to the couple, is an ongoing trend at receptions and a nice surprise for guests going to the bar.

The color of the drink can also match the main theme of the party decorations, which will make the entire event seem that much more coordinated.
