Planning a wedding is an exciting journey, and one of the most fun and memorable parts of your big day is the celebration. A mobile bar can be the perfect addition to your event, offering a variety of delicious drinks that suit the tastes of your guests and create an unforgettable atmosphere. But with so many options available, it can be difficult to decide what drinks to include in your mobile bar menu. In this blog post, we’ll walk you through the best drinks to consider for your wedding, making sure that everyone’s preferences are taken into account.
A mobile bar also means that you can be more flexible with your wedding or wedding reception location. Whether you are hosting in a private garden, village hall or stately home – if your wedding venue does not have a fixed bar we can bring the mobile bar to you.
Why Choose a Mobile Bar for Your Wedding?
Before diving into drink ideas, let’s quickly go over why a mobile bar is such a great choice for weddings. A mobile bar is flexible, stylish, and can be tailored to your event’s theme and atmosphere. Not only does it provide an array of drink options, but it also adds an element of luxury and fun for your guests. Whether you’re hosting a rustic outdoor wedding or a chic indoor celebration, a mobile bar can be designed to suit any style, and it’s an excellent way to keep your guests entertained.
Popular Drinks to Include for Your Wedding Mobile Bar
Signature Wedding Cocktail
Adding a unique touch to your mobile bar can be as simple as creating a signature cocktail for your wedding. A signature drink gives your wedding an extra personal flair and can be named after you and your partner, or tied to the theme of your celebration. For example:
The Love Potion – A romantic pink cocktail with gin, rose lemonade, and a splash of elderflower cordial.
The Ever After – A refreshing mix of Prosecco, peach purée, and a dash of bitters for a sophisticated yet fun drink.
You can also experiment with ingredients that are meaningful to you both, such as a drink made from a favorite vacation spot or a family recipe. If you would like the cocktail fully personalised we can include our drinks printer in your mobile bar hire package. Print directly on to the top of the drink! The print can be your name and wedding date, a photo of you both or anything else that is meaningful or ties in to your wedding theme.
Champagne and Prosecco
No wedding is complete without bubbles! Champagne or Prosecco is always a crowd-pleaser and adds an elegant touch to your wedding. You can serve these drinks in elegant flutes, or even create a Prosecco bar where guests can add fruit garnishes or liqueurs of their choice. Prosecco can be included as part of your mobile bar hire package or as a stand alone mini mobile bar that can be set up at venue entrances to welcome your guests.
If you want something a little different, consider offering a Prosecco cocktail, such as a Bellini (Prosecco and peach purée) or a classic Mimosa (Prosecco and orange juice).
Classic Cocktails
Cocktails are a must-have for any wedding mobile bar. Some classic cocktails are timeless and widely loved, including:
Mojito – A refreshing mix of rum, mint, lime, and soda water. Perfect for summer weddings.
Old Fashioned – For a sophisticated vibe, serve whiskey, sugar, and bitters with an orange twist.
Martini – Choose between gin or vodka, with a lemon twist or olives, to offer a sleek and chic drink option.
Gin and Tonic – Gin is a popular choice at weddings, and pairing it with tonic water and garnishing with herbs like rosemary or mint gives this drink a modern twist.
Non-Alcoholic Options
Don’t forget about your non-drinking guests! Offering a selection of non-alcoholic drinks ensures everyone can enjoy the celebration. Here are some ideas:
Mocktails – Non-alcoholic versions of classic cocktails, like Virgin Mojitos, Virgin Mary (non-alcoholic Bloody Mary), or a sparkling cucumber lemonade.
Iced Teas and Lemonades – Refreshing and customizable, you can serve a variety of iced teas or flavored lemonades, with options for fruit infusions like strawberry, peach, or cucumber.
Non-Alcoholic Beer or Wine – For guests who enjoy the taste of beer or wine but prefer to stay sober, offering a few quality non-alcoholic options is a great choice.
- Teas and coffees – serve barista quality teas and coffees at your wedding from our mobile coffee machine, including herbal teas, lattes and hot chocolates. The coffee machine can be hired as part of your mobile bar package or on it’s own.
Seasonal Favorites
If you’re having a wedding during the colder months, consider adding a few warm and cozy drinks to your mobile bar menu. A hot drinks station can offer a fun, comforting element to your event:
Hot Toddy – A warming combination of whiskey, honey, lemon, and hot water, perfect for winter weddings.
Mulled Wine – Spiced red wine served warm with oranges, cloves, and cinnamon. A wonderful seasonal choice.
Spiked Hot Chocolate – Hot chocolate made even better with a splash of Baileys or Kahlúa, a cozy and indulgent treat for your guests.
Beer and Cider
If your guests are beer lovers, make sure to have a selection of craft beers, lagers, or ales available at your mobile bar. You can include some local brews to add a personal touch, or offer a variety of options to cater to different tastes. Cider is another excellent choice for outdoor or rustic weddings, offering a crisp and refreshing alternative to beer.
Personalizing Your Drink Menu
The beauty of a mobile bar at your wedding is the ability to personalize everything, including the drinks. Work with your mobile bar hire company to customize the menu based on your preferences and wedding theme. You can even opt for a “build your own drink” station where guests can create their own cocktails from a selection of ingredients. This interactive option adds a fun twist to the event and allows your guests to experiment with flavors.
Tips for a Seamless Mobile Bar Experience
Quantity Planning – Make sure you estimate the right quantity of each drink to avoid running out of your favorites mid-celebration. Your mobile bar company will be able to help you plan accordingly.
Drink Station Setup – Position your mobile bar in an easily accessible area, keeping in mind guest flow and accessibility. Ensure there’s plenty of space for guests to gather around without overcrowding.
Consider Dietary Restrictions – Make sure there are options for guests with dietary restrictions, such as gluten-free drinks or alcohol-free alternatives.
Serve Signature Glassware – If you want to make your mobile bar extra special, consider having custom glassware, such as champagne flutes with your wedding date or cocktail glasses that fit your theme.
