Now that you’ve decided which cocktail you want to service, put your spin on things with these pro tips:
- Pick his and hers drinks based on each of your favorites and let your guests know which his choice is, and which is her choice
- Put a spin on the name of the cocktail – name it after your dog, a special city or a special year for the two of you
- Add a season touch to your cocktail of choice with cranberries in a Moscow Mule if it’s winter or strawberries if it’s summer
