Catering Chronicles – Food for Thought

Our sweet pink cocktail has a new name, thanks to Alexandra and Julie. Meet the “Blushing Bride”. A little sweet, bubbling with joy, and blushing in love. Thanks ladies for the help. We can’t wait to put this beauty on our cocktail menu.

HELP!!! We served this gorgeous cocktail last night at our Bridal tasting and everyone loved it. NOW it needs a NAME. How refreshing does this look? A sweet blush of pink. Ingredients include: Champagne, pear puree and cranberry juice, simple syrup, and a splash of 7up. Serve in a martini glass and garnished with a raspberry. Please leave your suggested names in the comments. We will choose a name on Monday and add it to our Cocktail collection. Cheers to a fabulous weekend!

Looking for a signature cocktail for your fall wedding, but don’t want anything heavy? Check out Aloha Paradise. A beautiful amber colored champagne Cocktail. Bar Manager Mark Anthony mixed the following to create this bubbly delight: 1/2 oz grape soda, 1/2 oz. Mandarin Orange Syrup, mix the 2 ingredients with ice, then strain into glass filled with 3 oz. sparkling wine, and garnish with a raspberry.

Looking for an elegant Halloween Cocktail? What could be more glamorous than one made with Champagne? Here is our spooky version of a Kir Royal. Made with Black Vodka, cranberry juice, and Crème de cassis, shaken with ice. Strain and add Champagne or sparkling wine and pour over a sugar cube. Heavenly… in a Halloween sort of way. A special thanks to Dress the Drink for gussying up our glass, Callaway Gable for the amazing photos, and Social Creative for the design. Cheers and Happy Haunting.

Some of our fabulous French Desserts, Pastries, and Signature Cocktail Kir Noir, are featured on Elizabeth Anne Designs today. It was so much fun working with Desiree Patterson of Social Creative as her vision came to life. She pulled together a fantastic team to create this elegant French table at The Grand Del Mar. Who wouldn’t want to sit in a beautiful room, at a gorgeous table, and eat pastries and drink cocktails? Check out the full post HERE.
