Is there a better way to celebrate a wedding than with a cocktail from a tiki mug? We didn’t think so either!
Most ceremonies have some kind of ‘unity ceremony’, to symbolise two people coming together. Often this’ll be something like pouring coloured sand into a single vase, or lighting a candle together. We met through a mutual love of tiki culture, so we wanted to reflect that in our wedding. Sure it didn’t go with our country kinda vibe, but we’ve never been ones for doing things normally. To keep things simple we stashed all the ingredients in a vintage thermos, with the alcohol in mini glass bottles.
The cocktail is of our own concoction, and we’ve dubbed it ‘The Tiki Two’.
The Tiki Two
1 shot Banana Liquor
1 shot Sailor Jerry Rum
200mL Charlie’s Orange and Mango Quencher
A splash of bitters
A sprig of mint
Add ice, add shots, stir, add juice, splash bitters on top, add mint. Enjoy!
The finishing touch was our caterer Mario’s Kitchen making up a whole bunch of them, so our guests got one as soon as the ceremony finished. Needless to say they were a hit!
