Pimm’s Cups are special to my fiancé and I but we’re trying to figure out if we can make it work as a signature cocktail given all the garnishes! I think if we pare it down to just a cucumber slice or mint sprig that it’ll be doable.
We had signature cocktails that were classic speakeasy drinks. I bartended years ago, and as long as you have a decent amount of garnish prepped, they don't add more than a few seconds to the make time. People also tend to drink more wine and beer at weddings, in my experience.
Very late reply... But why not have all the garnishes? I'm a little ignorant when it comes to cocktails... what's normally included? If you don't have a full bar then it can be the mixed drink you offer outside of wine/beer and you can just plan on a lot of it? I don't know 😂 I feel unqualified
I'm used to Pimm's Cups having cucumber, mint, and a couple kinds of fruit, but the bartending service we're looking at only provides some basic garnishes. I'm not sure if we'd have to provide the rest ourselves, and I definitely don't want to be prepping a bunch of fruit right before my wedding XD
