Whiskey Lemonade | A Sweet Signature Drink for Your Wedding Reception
Signature drinks are a fun way for the bride and groom, or even guest of honor, to showcase their personal taste at the wedding reception. At Ivory and Vine Event Co., we believe that every element in your wedding or event should showcase your personality, style and passions in some way. Leading into 2016 and even next year, we will see more couples choosing decked out bars as their focal point during the reception. This is the place where your guests will gather, so why not add your own personal touch!
This recipe for Whiskey Lemonade is extremely simple, and guests will love sipping on this refreshing drink during cocktail hour for spring and summer weddings. Follow our recipe below or give it to your reception bartender for your wedding guests to enjoy!
Ingredients needed:
1/2 cup of raw honey
1/2 cup of water

1 shot whiskey (we used good ol' Jack Daniels)
1/4 cup soda
Fresh lemon slices to garnish
Steps:
Bring water and honey to boil in a small saucepan.
Reduce the heat and add a sprig of herbs. Let this mixture simmer for 15 minutes, or until half of the liquid has evaporated.

Add herb and lemon garnish and serve!
