Catamaran Wedding Cocktails

Yacht weddings in the Dominican Republic will always choose summer drinks, as the weather in this tropical island is sunny year round. Any summer Caribbean wedding will require bright colors and fresh fruit flavors in their cocktails. Choose drinks with fruit juice, coconut liqueur, and fresh lemon or lime juice.

Cocktail drinks are better than hard liquor, because you can drink all night and the alcohol dehydration rate is slower than scotch on the rocks, as an example. Catamaran weddings in the Caribbean go hand in hand with fruity cocktails, specially as the island ingredients are very fresh.

1.5 oz. Vodka
3 oz. Cranberry Cocktail Juice
1.5 oz. Grapefruit Juice
Garnish Lime wedge, mint, and/or sliced grapefruit.

3 Lemon Wedges
60 ml Bourbon Whiskey
30 ml Sugar Syrup (Ginger Infused)
4 Mint Leaves

12 black tea bags
1 gal boiling water
2 Lemons (sliced plus a few set aside for garnish)
2 Limes (Sliced plus a few set aside for garnish)
2 Blood Oranges (sliced plus a few slices set aside for garnish)
