Warm Winter Wedding Reception Drinks

Warm Winter Wedding Reception Drinks

Mmmm… Winter has arrived! The evenings are cooler and darker and it’s time to get cozy. For those who are in love with winter, you’re probably a little like us and love to be snug! With this in mind, it’s time to abolish the ice cold cocktails and convert yourselves to something that will warm your belly and heart!

At a wedding reception, it’s important to give your guests a range of options (something everyone will like) as well as make it fun for your theme. Here are some warm winter wedding reception drinks for your big day….

Warm Winter Wedding Reception Drinks

Hot Chocolate

Perfect for the under age or non-alcoholic friends, this sweet winter warmer is always a crowd pleaser. Mix one cup of milk and 4-6 squares of Dairy Milk to a pan or for something easier, go for a fancy dark chocolate powder.

Irish Coffee

A favourite for winter and fairly common at wedding venues and pubs, this will be an easy drink to put together. If you’re mixing it at home here is a recipe:

  • 1 jigger Irish Cream
  • 1 jigger Irish Whiskey
  • 1 cup of hot coffee
  • Whipped cream
  • A dash of nutmeg

Cranberry Martini

If you’re not a fan of the hot toasty drinks, there is no excuse not to have a nice icy cocktail in the comfort of indoors. And some perkiness to your treat by adding cranberry. The recipe is the exact same as your everyday drink with a dash of cranberry mix or actual cranberries to add that wintery taste.
