    I am getting married in upstate NY on August 16th.  We are providing beer, wine and soda for the whole reception.  And have also decided to do a signature drink, but I can't decide what to do.  I want somthing summery and not to hard...anyone have a suggestion and/or a recipe for us.  Thanks in advance for any help.

    What are your colors?  Ours were brown and blue so we had a chocolate martini and a blue curaco margarita :)

    I am a huge fan of limoncello for summer. My favorite restaurant in town makes a great Cello-Tini with is limoncello, vodka and homemade lemonade. It's so yummy!

    I was thinking a lemon drop for those that like fruity drinks and then something less froofy like a martini as well.  Limoncello is an interesting spin on the idea.

    I'm thinking of doing a Pear Martini and calling it the Perfect Pear..... cheesy and overdone, but people still love it :)

    We'll probably do a Cello-tini and a dirty Gin Martini. Those are "our" drinks.

    We had a rum/fruit drink, a gin rickey, and a ginger martini.  The martini was the most popular by far - we called it "The Green Freedom of a Cockatoo," after the poem Sunday Morning by Wallace Stevens.

    I made all the ginger syrup (about a gallon) two weeks before the wedding.  Here's the recipe I used.  Note: once I made the syrup, I diluted with water by about 30%:

    Have you checked Martha Stewart website, or even her current edition of Martha Stwear wedding? I've seen some great signature drinks at the end of them for the summer editions.

    Like a pear lemon fizz: http://www.marthastewart.com/portal/site/mslo/menuitem.fc77a0dbc44dd1611e3bf410b5900aa0/?vgnextoid=aec9f9cd381e4110VgnVCM1000003d370a0aRCRD&vgnextfmt=default&rsc=header_4&autonomy_kw=signature+drink

    or a list of summer cocktails: http://www.marthastewart.com/article/summer-cocktails?autonomy_kw=summer%20cocktail&rsc=header_2
