Planning for an intimate wedding? Want an amazing cocktail hour prior to the reception? We teamed up J.J. Pfister Distilling with KMG Cuisine and challenged them to create some signature drinks and bites for any pre-wedding party or celebration.
the bridal blush
This cocktail starts as a “mocktail” punch so guests who prefer non-alcoholic beverages can enjoy a festive drink for the special event! For guests wanting the fully loaded version just add Vodka and BAM, you’ve got yourself a delicious signature cocktail. It starts with Pomegranate juice, grapefruit juice, and lemon juice. Sweetened with a honey, ginger, and mint syrup and topped with Lemoncello LaCroix! Served in a large, festive, punch up-glass and garnished with flowers.
PAIR with Shrimp Cocktail Shooters
the nordic kiss
This is one of our most popular drinks at JJ Pfister. The spirit is honey based Drakas with fresh lemon juice and rosemary syrup. It is served in a delicate and art deco style coup with rosemary garnish.
PAIR with KMG’s Signature Banana Pudding Shooters (who says you can’t have dessert before dinner?)
the white gown
This is a Gin cocktail with a cherry blossom tea syrup. It is served over ice in a tall collins glass. Garnished with mochi candy and a lemon skin channel.
PAIR with Tortellini Skewers & Teriyaki Meatballs
the pearsimmon
This is best suited as a signature dessert cocktail. Sweet and fresh! It contains Vodka, pear juice, persimmon syrup, Coconut LaCroix with a squeeze of lemon wedge. Served in a sugar rimmed milk jug glass with stainless steel straw and a pear garnish.
PAIR with Peach Cobbler Bites (again, yes on dessert anytime!)
the sunset serum
This cocktail is just as much for the ladies as it is for the men! This cocktail is spirit forward and contains our Navy Strength Rum (114 proof) with mint syrup and chocolate bitters. It is finished with an orange expression and served in a rocks glass over one large rock of ice!
PAIR with Bacon Mac n Cheese Bites
the gentlemen’s sour
Whiskey lovers rejoice! This delicious signature cocktail is sure to be a hit with Rye Whiskey, Red Vermouth, lemon, lavender syrup and lemon expression. Also served in a rocks glass with lemon garnish.
