I’m not a huge drinker, but my favorite drink is the Classic Pimm’s Cup. What is Pimm’s? Well, it is gin-based beverage that can be served either on ice or in cocktails. It has a dark tea color with a reddish tint, and tastes subtly of spice and citrus fruit. It’s a very English drink, but the Napoleon House in New Orleans makes a killer version! I love it with a little lemonade and a few cucumber sticks.
So when we started talking about doing signature drinks, my first thought was that mine would be a classic Pimm’s Cup.
Classic Pimm’s Cup
Yum! It’s the perfect summer drink. The only problem with serving the Pimm’s Cup is the Pimm’s itself. The only way serving signature drink would be possible is if we buy all our liquor at the Coast Guard station. It’s amazing how much less liquor is there. Unfortunately, they only stock popular liquors and I’m pretty sure Pimm’s isn’t one of them. Should I have to forgo the Pimm’s Cup, I’ve found a few options to pick from.
The Moscow Mule
The Woo Woo! (I love the name!)
The Monkey Wrench
Mr. Joey already has his drink. He’s going with the gimlet.
Gimlet
If we can’t get the lime cordial at a good price, he said he’s going with a Mint Julep.

Did you have a signature drink? How did you decide on what drinks you’ll serve at your wedding?
Ha! I ordered a Woo Woo in a bar once just so I could say the name aloud. It’s delicious, so I ordered another…. And I believe that might be why it’s called a Woo Woo. After a while that’s what I was yelling! 
We’re going to do signature drinks too, but I haven’t figured out what they are yet.
the “woo woo” is a great name. I’ve never had it, but classic Pimm’s sounds yum!
I LOVE woo woo’s! They’re so yummy!! If you can’t get Pimms, the woo woo has my vote!
Haaa! I love Pimm’s! We had this Scottish friend that drank Pimms and Sprite! Hilarious!
Also, Gimlet and Mint julep=old time-y
awesome.
Love your choices!
yum, pimm’s is delish! during my study abroad in london, i visited a friend who was near the end of her studies in oxford and starting to pack up…we decided to finish the rest her pimm’s stash…you know, just helping the effort =).
My best friend and I made 6 gallons of WOO for her birthday party we put it in a fountain (like a champange fountian) and called it the Fountain of Woo… IT WAS AWESOME.
Love the Pimm’s cup!! I hope you are able to get the Pimm’s. It always makes me think of a summer garden party.
We are doing a bourbon based signature drink because our wedding is in kentucky. I think we are mixing it with Ale 8, a kentucky made soft drink similare to ginger ale.
I would love to have a signature drink; we really wanted Mint Juleps but because our venue is a winery we can only serve wine (of course) and beer.
I’m am really excited to be serving all our favorite wines though
That’s awesome! My friend had Pimm’s at her rehearsal dinner! (She married a Brit!) 
Yummy!
I loooovvvveee Pimm’s cups!! We were just talking about them the other day and how good they are, but how hard Pimm’s is to find.
We are in New Orleans right now, I will have to check the Napoleon House for sure.
im a brit and we’re having pimms! guests are bringing it over from the uk for us. yummo x
i’ve never heard of the signature drink thing until the blog! nobody told me haha so we’re not doing it.. poops
as generic as it may sound … the Margaretta will be our signature drink.
mmmm… now you’ve got me thinking about Pimms…
We are thinking about doing a coconut rum and pinapple juice drink that we had at Bahama Breeze…the name escapes me. We are gettting married next to a lake and we think the drink about fit the “ambience”
My grandma’s favorite drink is a Pimm’s Cup, so we made sure to add a bottle of it to our bar at the wedding. She was touched that we remembered.
We didn’t have any signature drinks. We’re all beer drinkers, so we had beer koozies as favors. I’m classy like that!
We are having an open bar for the ceremony and rehersal dinner…but we’re also having a Thursday night party with signature Jamaican drinks…Red Stripe & Rum Punch!
These all look so yummy…I’m such a sucker for pretty mixed drinks.
Boyfriend has this idea for Open Bars and “Signature Drinks”:
1) We host (ie: pay for) beer and wine
2) Guests can order one of the following hosted drinks, but don’t get to be told what is in the drinks before they order it:
- The CHK: huckelberry vodka and lemonade
- The BoyfriendCHK: Crown Royan and Coke
- The DadCHK: vodka and diet squirt (suprisingly good!)
- The GrandpaCHK: whiskey and 7-Up
- The MomCHK: cheap ass boxed wine
- The GrandmaCHK: whiskey in coffee
… you get the idea. Kind of a fun way to make sure the important peole get what they want to drink, while incorporating the signature drink and (hopefully) not killing your budget!
