White Christmas Mojito

HONEY BOURBON COCKTAIL WITH ROSEMARY SIMPLE SYRUP
Keep your wedding guests nice and cozy at your winter wedding with this seasonal Bourbon cocktail. It’s the Rosemary Honey Syrup that really makes it!
Holly Jolly Christmas Citrus Cocktail
This winter citrus cocktail with vodka, St. Germain (elderflower liquor), ginger beer, and pomegranate is wonderfully refreshing. It would be the perfect cocktail to serve at a winter wedding where the climate is still quite warm to immerse your guests in all those holiday feels.
THE SPICED BLACK CURRANT “SILENT NIGHT” COCKTAIL
This has to be the chicest cocktail we’ve ever seen. If your wedding color palette is deep and moody, this sake, St. Germain, and spiced black currant juice cocktail will be the perfect complement. It's wintery without being too holiday.
Rosemary Pomegranate French 75
A wintery twist on the famous French 75, this cocktail consists of London Dry Gin, lemon juice, rosemary simple syrup, some bubbly, and a pomegranate and rosemary garnish. So chic, so festive!
SPICED CRANBERRY PALOMA COCKTAIL

Excuse us while we go shake up one of these babies for ourselves…Okay, we’re back! One word–divine! If you love margs (who doesn’t) but want your cocktails to have that festive feel, it really doesn’t get much better than this. They also suggest garnishing with a “candied rosemary sprig for a wintry touch.”
