Your Signature<br />
WEDDING<br />
COCKTAIL<br />
For couples on a budget, or couples who want a<br />
special drink for themselves or their wedding party,<br />
serving a signature cocktail can be a smart move and<br />
a romantic one. Even the simplest of ingredients can<br />
look spectacular once shaken, stirred, poured and<br />
garnished. But for your special cocktail to be totally<br />
memorable, make it taste FRESH, put it in a classy<br />
glass to look FABULOUS and then give it a fancy<br />
name for FUN!<br />

BOMBONIERES<br />
Bombonieres is an Italian word meaning<br />
“sweet favours” that were given to guests<br />
at Italian and also at Greek wedidngs.<br />
Traditionally wrapped in a lace doily, these<br />
bomboniere were five sugared almonds<br />
representing health, wealth, happiness,<br />
fertility and good luck.<br />
Today, “bomboniere” has come to mean any gift that<br />
the bride and groom give to their guests to thank them<br />
for their presents and presence at the wedding. Sugared<br />
almonds are still popular at receptions, but other<br />
edible options now include chocolates, biscuits, jams,<br />
chutneys, preserves and fudge or small bottles of wine<br />
with personalised labels.<br />
Modern couples have also expanded the idea into a<br />
range of merchandised favours including personalised<br />
soaps, pens, photo frames, pot plants, packets of seeds,<br />
tins of tea or coffee beans, candles, bottle openers,<br />
fridge magnets, keyrings, engraved glassware, mugs, golf<br />
balls and coasters!<br />
Giving favours is a nice tradition, but be careful that<br />
the cost of these commercial items does not blow your<br />
budget, otherwise get creative and give something<br />
simple and inexpensive – like sugared almonds maybe!<br />
METHOD<br />
Pour all the ingredients into a large blender.<br />
Blend until evenly mixed and smooth.<br />
Pour into a champagne glass.<br />
Garnish with a slice of fresh lemon.<br />
NAME IT<br />
Cool, white and elegant with the pure taste of<br />
lemon. Celebrate a beautiful bride or “Bella Sposa”<br />
in a glass.
