Apples vs. Oranges….get it? If you have an upcoming wedding and you want to “wow” your guests with some delicious cocktails, look no further than these perfect “His and Hers” Wedding Cocktails. They’re fruity, refreshing, and they are “His and Hers” without being corny or too obvious. Your sophisticated guests will appreciate the metaphor, and surely they will love the drinks because they are so tasty!
Her Cocktail: Gin Apple Martini
When Dripping Springs Distilling asked me to create a set of “His and Hers” cocktails for the upcoming wedding season (as they are celebrating the opening of their own wedding venue!) I knew I wanted a martini for the ladies. There’s something about a woman with a martini glass in hand that just screams “classy.” This apple-tini requires only 4 ingredients and the possibilities for garnishes are endless!
His Cocktail: Orange Vodka Crush
This “His” Cocktail is made with the incredibly smooth Dripping Springs Orange Vodka and Sunny D. If you’re new here, there’s one thing you must know: if there’s ever a chance to include a nostalgic component, I’m going to take it. Orange Crush cocktails are usually made with orange juice, but I swapped it with Sunny D because I love the sweet flavor. This drink also only has 4 ingredients, so all you need are 8 ingredients to make these delicious drinks and impress all your friends and family.
Check out this fun, stop motion video I made for Tiktok, and if you’re not already following me there or on Instagram, click either (or both!) links and make that happen. 🙂
Yep! I used Dripping Springs ____ gin, but you can easily swap that out for Dripping Springs Vodka.
Sure! I prefer Sunny D, but OG OJ works too!
You could use limes in many ways: wheel, twist, wedge. Maraschino cherries are another great option!
Nope! I prefer crushed ice, in the summer especially, but any ice will do!
