How Do You Choose Cocktails Guests Will Actually Drink at a Wedding

Give guests different flavours, not a test of cocktail knowledge.

Choose from the existing Cocktailhire menu with your guests' tastes in mind. A useful wedding selection offers recognisably different flavours and clear descriptions, rather than several similar drinks or choices made only for their names.

Consider whether your guests tend to prefer refreshing, fruity, richer or more spirit-led drinks. You do not need to predict every individual order, but an obvious spread makes it easier for different people to find something they want. Keep the selection within the package tier and confirm any alcohol-free choice.

A practical example

If most choices are sweet and fruit-led, the guest who prefers something less sweet has little real choice even if the menu looks long. Compare flavours across the available menu before settling the event selection.

What to confirm for your wedding

  • Contrast between the selected flavours
  • Names and descriptions guests can understand
  • Available tier choices and dietary information
