An Ecstatic Cuisine Catering Signature Cocktail menu at an afternoon wedding at Mercury Hall in Austin, Texas. ( photo by Katie Mae Holloway )

What is a signature drink? A signature drink is a unique cocktail or non-alcoholic beverage served during a cocktail hour or reception. Signature cocktails are a great way for a host to share something special with their guests that is both memorable and delicious.

Why have a signature drink? One of our specialties at Ecstatic Cuisine Catering is creating food and drink menus that reflect our client’s tastes and heritage. Signature drinks can highlight the season, wedding colors or even family’s heritage.

Fun with glassware! We love to get creative with specialized glassware for each drink. A springtime favorite is mason jars with ‘grown-up’ Arnold Palmer made with fresh squeezed lemonade, Deep Eddy Sweet Tea Vodka and garnished with a lemon round … the perfect way to enjoy an Austin afternoon!

Cheers!
