Mwah-tini
For those with a real sweet tooth, why not have a mwah-tini at your wedding? This cocktail screams summer with the mango, passionfruit and summer berries. Not many people dislike a pornstar martini, so might as well spice it up with this one. You can never go wrong with this option. Add a cocktail topper or some passionfruit on the top as an essential.
- 1⁄2 part Chambord
- 3⁄4 part mango vodka
- 1 part passionfruit juice
- 1⁄4 part lime juice
- 1⁄4 part sugar syrup
- Garnish with a slice of passionfruit
- Served with a shot of prosecco
