Weekend Roundup: tequila signature cocktails for your south of the border style wedding reception
- 21

In my book, a wedding reception just isn’t a wedding reception without a few trendy alcoholic beverages. Why not spruce up your open bar with a few interesting signature beverages? This weekend’s Pinterest roundup includes a list of my favorite signature cocktails that include Tequila (my fave!). These would be perfect for a destination wedding somewhere south of the border.
And if you don’t like the names of a particular cocktail, but love the way it tastes, just change the name on your menu to reflect your wedding or personality. Heck, name it after yourself even! For example: Hurricane Liz, Blushing Bride, The Passed Out Groom, I could go on and on all day…
