Cocktails are an essential part of summer weddings because they are refreshing and uplift the guests' moods at your wedding. Choosing a summer cocktail idea for your wedding should not be too hard. Many couples even go out of their way to create a signature cocktail drink to personalize their wedding drink menu.

Our first tip is to consider the type of alcohol and the flavors you and your partner like best. Next, do your best to match your wedding colors where you can. Here are some great cocktail ideas that you could try at your summer wedding. 

·   Margaritas

Margaritas at a summer wedding? Yes, sign us up! You could have a perfect crisp and delicious coconut margarita as your summer cocktail drink, especially if you're having a beachside wedding. Your coconut margarita can be a mixture of coconut milk, tequila, coconut water, and triple sec with fresh lime wedges. You'll end up with a creamy hue and green accent, which is excellent for weddings with a white, red, gold, or green color scheme. 

·   Flavored Proseccos

This simple summer cocktail drink calls for one main ingredient, Prosecco. Prosecco is an Italian wine that is amazing for hot weather. You could go for a Limoncello Prosecco, which looks terrific with a green, yellow, and gray combo. You could also add blueberries and garnish it with thyme and lemon slices. The result: A cheerful summer drink your guests will enjoy.

·   Use Berries

Berry season peaks just after summer has started, and your summer wedding can and should take advantage of this. Find ways to incorporate strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries into your cocktail drinks and give your guests a good time.

You can serve a wild berry smash cocktail for which you'll need berries, lemon, and wild berry vodka. Or you could serve a mixed berry Mojito. With its rum base and incredible taste, you and your guests will have a lovely time enjoying them. 

·   Something Pink

Pink is a shade that looks amazing at summer weddings. They evoke a light and fairytale-like atmosphere and capture the joyous mood at your wedding. You could serve a Pink Fizz made with vodka, simple syrup, crushed ice, champagne, and mint leaves. It has a vibrant shade of pink and coral and would be great for a wedding with décor in white, gold, or green.

·   You Can Never Go Wrong with Lavender

This lovely herb adds the most amazing and nostalgic fragrance to food and drinks. You could serve a Lavender Lemonade Mojito as the cocktail at your wedding. Its romantic purple tones would be a great addition, and the pairing of herbal and citrus fruits would just hit the right spot. The ingredients for this drink include freshly squeezed lemon juice, mint, water, light rum, and lavender simple syrup.

You could spice this drink up even further and go for a Lavender lemonade with pear vodka. The glass would be a delight to look at, and the mixture of lavender and pear is one that your guests will still be raving about long after your wedding.
