The art of entertaining at a destination wedding means having the most superb and appropriate signature cocktail for the occasion. That’s why I reached out to my favorite wine & spirits company, Charbay Artisanal Spirits, and discovered some of their winter favorites that have been tried and true. Many local, infamous mixologists have concocted these cocktails to woo their customers and keep them warm over the chilly months. With winter nuptials in the works, here are some the hottest cocktail ideas for a winter wonderland wedding.

Winter Cocktails:
-Black Walnut/Hot Chocolate Martini
-Blood Orange Espresso Martini
-Spiced Blood Orange cocktail, poured over spiced cotton candy in a spice/sugar rimmed martini glass
-Hot Buttered Rum station
-Whiskey Manhattan’s garnished with brandied cherries
