When you plan your wedding, you need to think of every little detail to make your day perfect. Some of those details are fun, like taste-testing cake flavours or touring romantic venues. You can try on wedding dresses and experiment with makeup, but you also need to think of your guests.<\/p>\n

Your guests will attend your wedding to celebrate you and the love of your life, but they’re also there to have a good time. They want to eat great food, dance to fun music and enjoy a drink or two. You can always serve standard beer and wine selections, but many spring brides prefer to create fun drink menus for their guests to explore.<\/p>\n

Check out seven cocktail ideas for your early spring wedding that will win over anyone on your guest list. You can make them at home to try them out before your big day so you know you have incredible choices for everyone who comes to celebrate.<\/p>\n

1. Simple Citrus Kiss<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Spring is all about blooming flowers and lightened-up menus. You’ll want to find inspiration in things that are light and new, like seasonal fruits. Use a few in a fun new drink by making Simple Citrus Kiss cocktails for those who like something sweet and tangy.<\/p>\n

If you want to make this one for yourself, you’ll need to stock up on lemons or limes, along with mandarin oranges and superfine sugar. Combine the juices with sugar syrup and blood orange sparkling cider to create a refreshing drink<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Find a bottle of champagne you like and mix it with light rum, lime juice, mint and sugar. It will taste like a traditional mojito but with a bubbly, minty touch.<\/p>\n
