Custom Cocktails

We were also fortunate enough to have a Signature Drink : “Champagne and Flowers” created by Tanya Stedman of local restaurant Moonstone Bistro. Below is how she describes these beautiful drinks:
I wanted to create a simple cocktail about romance and eternal love! Not too complicated; Brides and Grooms and everybody in-between are busy, so no muddling, fancy mixers, or too many, hard to find ingredients!. I started with vodka as a base spirit, since it a great, neutral spirit. Hangar One Mandarin Blossom Vodka has an amazing aroma and flavor, and St. Germain Elderflower Liqueur is just sexy. Cointreau is a delicately balanced orange and herbal liqueur, and keeps the drink interesting. I chose one mixer: Pomegranate! I love its deep ruby-red color, antioxidant properties and health benefits. I highly recommend freshly squeezed; the color is fantastic, but PomWoderful is also great and widely available. My husband and I got married in Costa Rica, where Ylang-Ylang flowers grow wild along the road, so my entire bridal bouquet was Ylang-Ylang flowers. It is an aphrodisiac, antidepressant, antiseptic, and lowers blood pressure. In India, it is tradition to spread Ylang-Ylang flowers on the bed of newlywed couples. It’s the essential element to incorporate into our bridal cocktail. A little goes a long way, so I mixed it with DoTerra Wild Orange essential oil. Top it with cold, crisp bubbly: and there you have the perfect Champagne and Flowers!

Recipe:

Fill a cocktail shaker with ice, and add: 1 part Hangar One Mandarin Blossom Vodka | 1 part St. Germaine Elderflower Liqueur | 1 part Cointreau | 2 parts Pomegranate Juice (Freshly squeezed is highly recommended!)

Shake hard until the cocktail shaker is so cold you can’t hold onto it anymore.

Strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Top with cold, crisp champagne. Spritz with Ylang-Ylang / Wild Orange diffusion.

Garnish with flowers from the bridal bouquet.
