In continuation with our last posting about Catering, we wanted to take the time this week to talk about summer cocktails! Over here at the Lesner, we love summertime. We daydream of summer and all of the seasonal goodness it brings… bright sunshine, warm breezes, beach tans, fresh ingredients & refreshing libations!
Many brides & grooms personalize their wedding with a signature cocktail. From our experience, it is often best to go with a simple cocktail that can identify with the bride & groom’s personalities. Here at the Lesner Inn, we also often see signature cocktails that coincide with the theme & color scheme of the event. Throwing an event with blue linens? Try serving a specialty cocktail that incorporates a blue liquor! One of our favorites is the fun and festive Low Country Lemonde.
Summertime is the best time to relax… but also a fabulous time to entertain! Whether you want to host a special holiday event, or are planning a wedding, these summer sips are sure to quench your thirst. Treat your guests to these mouth-watering cocktails with a twist, and you’re sure to be the life of the party!
