A winter wedding in Buffalo, NY can be magical but also…cold! What’s better than a hot drink on a cold day? We can’t think of anything that would be your wedding day better than a delicious cocktail before the dance party starts! So, how do you find the best cocktail for your big day? Don’t worry, we’ve rounded up the top ten winter cocktails that deserve to be your signature drink at your wedding:

10. Jingle Juice

If your wedding day falls close to the holiday season, this cocktail is for you! What is it? It’s a classic screwdriver (orange juice & vodka) with a fun twist: a candy cane, maraschino cherry juice, and orange liqueur. If you don’t have orange liqueur, such as Triple Sec, it’s perfectly fine to substitute an equal amount of orange juice. The cherry juice gives this cocktail a festive red color, which makes it even better for your theme!

6. Capital Eggnog

Do you love eggnog? You can really only enjoy this cocktail one time throughout the year, so take advantage of it! If you have a small wedding, this cocktail may work best for you as this drink can be difficult to prepare in large batches.

5. Pomegranate Champagne

Nothing gets the party going like champagne. Champagne is the obvious choice for any wedding, but this cocktail comes with a fun twist. Pomegranate makes this cocktail fun and festive. A bonus is that it is easy to make for your bartenders.

4. Plum and Thyme Prosecco Smash

Your wedding is unique and so is this cocktail! Treat your guests to something special by choosing this one-of-a-kind cocktail that is as beautiful as it is delicious. Plums are a classic winter fruit, but they aren’t commonly used in cocktails. We promise this drink will be a hit!

3. Peach and Blackberry Bramble

So, this may not exactly be a winter cocktail…but we won’t tell anyone if you don’t! If you love fruity, tropical flavors, this cocktail should be the star of your cocktail hour.

2. The Campfire Cocktail

Nothing says “warm and cozy” quite like this cocktail. This drink is PERFECT for a rustic wedding. Even if it’s too cold out for a real campfire, no one will notice once they have a sip of this drink!

1. Earl Grey Tea Infused Champagne Cocktail

Doesn’t the winter time just make you want to cozy up with a cup of tea? If you love tea, this champagne cocktail will be perfect for your wedding day! The flavored vodka makes for an herbal taste that will leave your guests both impressed and delighted.

If you could choose any cocktail for your wedding, what would you choose?
