It’s tough to realize that summer is rapidly approaching. But the mister and I can practically taste the warmer months — perhaps because we’re starting to select our signature cocktails to be served at the wedding!
With under six months to go, we’re still debating between some of our favorite potent potables. Gin and tonics, though, are definitely in — featuring Philly’s own Bluecoat gin.
Mr. Bruschetta and I were first introduced to Bluecoat at Cork, one of our favorite restaurants. The local libation was prominently displayed on the bar, and a friendly customer enthused about the flavor it brought to his g & t.
I love the idea of personalizing as much of a wedding as possible to the bride and groom’s tastes. So naturally, I’m looking forward to sharing this something blue with our family and friends in August.
Now it’s your turn: What’s your favorite summer cocktail?

Share this post: Something Blue
First: You’re probably totally annoyed that I keep telling you I love Bluecoat. But it’s true. There is no second…other than I love dirty gin martinis–all year long.
Nice idea on your something blue!
@Miss Perfume: SO not annoyed. I love hearing that Mr. Bruschetta and I aren’t the only two a bit obsessed with a particular brand of gin.
He’s all about dirty gin martinis, too! 
I’m getting there…but I’m also a drinking lightweight, so it’s a lotta booze for me! 
Sangria (my Mr. is from Mexico and has a killer recipe) and Mango Mojitos!
Our signature cocktail for the wedding will be Sangrias. Light summery and ties in well with the vineyard theme. And. It’s red so ties in with my wedding colors. hehe.
The FI loves mojitos or cairpirinhias (i totally misspelled that!) - anything with mint leaves I guess I’m a champagne cocktails girl - love the bubbles!
Gin and Tonics and mojitos are my fav summer cocktails.. who and I kidding? Those and dirty martinis are my favorite anytime cocktails
Bluecoat is THE BEST gin in the world. I’ll use Plymouth in a pinch, but Bluecoat is far and away my fave.
So G&Ts are my favorite summer cocktails (with a twist!! ) Actually I’ll drink them anytime:D I also love a good Gin Ricky, which is similar but also has a sugar syrup in it!
Margarita on the rocks with salt or champagne with lychee…mmmmm. I do <3 a nice g&t though
I’m a dirty martini or champagne girl…but I just got the newest Sunset Magazine and they had a recipe for a basil gimlet that I might try this weekend…I think it has a chance to be one of my favorites.
That’s a fun something blue! I’m excited to pick our signature drinks.
@amandopolis: Yea for another Bluecoat lover!
@JennyBryde: @purpleHaze79: @Emilydll: @Gerbera: @LzzNYC: @AliCherri1: @ggsb: Mojitos and sangria are high on our list of other favorite summery drinks — I hope we can feature a great recipe of each along with the Bluecoat g & t!
@redbullfanatic: Oooo, that sounds fantastic!
Bluecoat is awesome! Had it for the first time last summer. You’ve reminded me that I should pick up another bottle! Love g+ts but my FI hates them so they probably won’t be one of our signature drinks 
I don’t know if this is sacrilegious - but I LOVE gin & ginger ale with the rose’s lemon juice! I call it a gg (pronounced jeej)!
lychee martinis and pomegranate martinis are my favorite summer cocktails. we want to serve both at the wedding
I agree with everyone else about the mojitos - I also like mint juleps. Anything mint-y, I guess You know I’m not much of a cocktail gal and generally prefer my wine and beer, but this is making me crave a G&T or a mojito!
I’m a huge fan of the Cojito. It’s a mojito made with coconut rum and it is soooo yummy!! I can’t stomach gin, but both my FI and my dad love it, so a G&T will prolly be his sig cocktail!
We like frozen Miami Vices. Half strawberry margarita, half pina colada. They look so nice, pink and white in a hurricane glass!
We’re on the fence about serving them though - frozen drinks at a wedding? We could get one of those double mixing machines easily though….
Ours signature drinks are hands down the High Tide Martini (Black Cherry Rum, OJ, Sprite/Seltzer) or a sweet red wine with summer peaches. They just scream summer BBQ to us, which is exactly what our wedding is!

About Me: I’m a self-proclaimed grammar geek who loves singing (like, really belting it) in the car. My mister and I are planning a vibrant summer soiree celebrating our passions – including food and Philly – and when we make it official, we’ll have been together for eight years! Being super competitive is in my nature, and talking excessively is in my genes. I’ve got a terrible sense of direction, but can always easily find my way into Mr. Bruschetta’s arms.
