Raise a Glass to Unforgettable Wedding Drinks
As a wedding photographer, I’ve seen firsthand how the little details make a wedding day truly magical. One element that always stands out? The drinks! Whether it’s a perfectly mixed cocktail to kick off the celebrations or a smooth espresso to keep the energy high, the right drink service can elevate the entire wedding experience.
To help you plan the ultimate drink selection for your wedding, I asked the experts at Tipple & Bean to share their top tips on wedding drink service. Lauralee and Lee, the dynamic duo behind this stylish mobile bar, bring a wealth of experience and passion to every event they cater. They know exactly what it takes to keep guests happy, glasses full, and the party flowing!
Meet the Masters of the Pour
Lauralee is the heart and soul of Tipple & Bean. Her journey in hospitality began behind a cocktail bar at just 18, leading her to manage international events in Japan and the USA. With a keen eye for class and style, she knows how to create a drinks experience that’s both sophisticated and seamless.
Lee, on the other hand, is the logistical powerhouse who ensures everything runs smoothly—because what’s a wedding without expertly timed drink service? Together, they’ve built Tipple & Bean into a Sunshine Coast favourite, offering charming, high-quality drink service from their beautifully designed mobile bar.
The Top 5 Drinks to Serve at Your Wedding
Lauralee and Lee didn’t hesitate when I asked them about the must-have drinks for a wedding. Here’s their expert-approved lineup:
1. Espresso Martini
A wedding classic! This cocktail brings a kick of caffeine and a smooth, velvety taste, making it the perfect pick-me-up after dinner. The blend of vodka, coffee liqueur, and fresh espresso creates a sophisticated and indulgent drink that keeps the energy high on the dance floor.
2. Cosmopolitan
Elegant, refreshing, and always a hit, the Cosmo is a go-to for those who love a little citrusy sophistication. A mix of vodka, cranberry juice, triple sec, and lime juice, this drink is light, zesty, and visually stunning, making it a perfect choice for a stylish celebration.
3. Sparkling Wine
No celebration is complete without a bit of sparkle! A crisp, chilled glass of bubbly is a must for toasts and happy moments. Whether it’s classic Champagne or a delightful Prosecco, this drink adds an air of festivity and pairs beautifully with wedding cake and canapés.
4. Jack Daniels & Coke
A crowd-pleaser that never goes out of style. It’s bold, smooth, and a favourite among whiskey lovers. This simple yet timeless combination of whiskey and cola offers a familiar and comforting taste that appeals to a wide range of guests.
5. Fresh Espresso Coffee
Because the designated drivers, non-drinkers, and coffee lovers deserve something just as special! A freshly brewed espresso or a creamy cappuccino provides a warm and comforting drink option for those who prefer to stay alcohol-free while still enjoying a premium beverage experience.
