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
  • Have a sign for the signature cocktail so guests know it is an option
  • Serve your cocktail in style and get the right serving glasses for your selection like a champagne flute or a copper mug
