PINK WEDDING COCKTAILS
















The current issue of "I Do for Brides" magazine features one of my "Pink Wedding Cocktails" on page 64. It is the "Champagne Berry" created for a wedding in North Carolina using the Bride's Pink & Purple wedding theme. The fresh strawberry garnish is dusted with a gleaming purple sugar.

Here are a few more of my delicious and PINK signature wedding cocktails:

"The Pink Princess"
was created to reflect the subtile color of Princess Diana's wedding gown.














"The Godiva Pinkie"
is a dessert bar favorite; Vanilla Ice Cream, Godiva White Chocolate Liqueur and Luscious Framboise.














"The Pink Garden"
created for a Florida Garden Wedding, embellishes the drink with an edible carnation garnish.

SIGNATURE WEDDING COCKTAILS


















Wow, Theresa and Chris just had their amazing wedding at the New York Botanical Gardens. The lush floral theme was the inspiration for their Signature Wedding Cocktail:
LOVE IN BLOOM.
The event colors were Mandarin Orange and Gold, featured in the drink. An edible orange flower accented the floral motif as the cocktail's garnish.
They were so kind in a note to me. Here's what they had to say:
Herb,

We just wanted to reach out to tell you that the drink was a huge hit at the wedding!

We are going to send you a picture for your collection when we get them back.

Thanks for everything. It was so great working with you. It was one of the best things we did.


Thank you Theresa and Chris! Many years of love and happiness to you.

PRIVATE PARTY MIXOLOGIST




































I had the pleasure of creating and serving some original Signature Cocktails for a 40
th Birthday Party on the Upper East Side. I set up a tasting for Branko, the birthday boy, prior to the event. He tasted several of my original libations and chose to feature THE TARTAN and one created just for him; THE BRANKO BUSTER. His two favorite flavors are Ginger and Peach. I combined those elements to craft a refreshing yet spicy drink. The slurry was made a day prior so the Peaches, Ginger and Sugar would macerate overnight. The cocktails were a big hit.
Happy Birthday Branko!

SIGNATURE WEDDING COCKTAILS

I had the honor of creating two Signature Wedding Cocktails for Bride
Domenica Rinaldi and Groom Patrick Monaghan. The couple have chosen Dusty Pomegranate and Harvest Gold as their event colors. Their October wedding will have a rich, Autumnal feel, reflected in every element, even their Signature Cocktails. They also will share a bit of each other's heritage: Domenica's sparkling cocktail "Harvest di Napoli" features Italian Proseco while Patrick's martini style drink "Irish Orchard" highlights the flavors of Irish Mist.
I wish them a wonderful, happy life together!

SIGNATURE WEDDING COCKTAILS NEW YORK

















The La'Khoury
was named for the couple by taking parts of each of their family names and combining them.










Priya and Duane chose a Signature Wedding Cocktail that blended elements of their different cultures. I combined prominent flavors to create an exquisite and elegant cocktail. The spirit, Jamaican Dark Rum, was infused with exotic Indian Spices and enhanced with tropical juices to create the perfect "marriage" in their original libation. Their amazing affair was held at CAPITALE in September of 2007.

I had the honor of creating the Bride & Groom's Signature Wedding Cocktails for Karen and Pat Weninger this past weekend. Their theme was "Old New York", with the reception held at City Hall Restaurant. Karen and Pat chose a classic Black & White Color Scheme. Their original cocktails "NY Skyscraper" and "Old Manhattan" celebrated their theme in name and color as well. Pat's was a Black drink with White edible decoration, while Karen's was a White libation enhanced by tasty hand painted Black designs.
