Signature Fall Cocktails

For the couple looking for something to jazz up their wedding reception menu, or the couple that is on a budget but still wants to wow their guest, having a signature drink is certainly one of the ways to go. I love the idea of using martinis as a signature drink.They look sophisticated, and there are so many funky martini glasses that can be utilized for serving.
