When it comes to creating an unforgettable wedding experience, it’s the little personal touches that make a big impact. One of the most fun (and delicious!) ways to customize your big day? DIY wedding drinks!
Whether you’re serving alcohol or going booze-free, setting up a custom wedding drink station or crafting a signature cocktail is a great way to reflect your personalities and wow your guests. From build-your-own bars to unique mocktails, here are some fun, easy, and totally Instagram-worthy ideas for DIY wedding beverages.
🍸 1. His & Hers Signature Cocktails
A forever favorite — signature wedding cocktails are a great way to share a piece of your love story with your guests. Give them clever names inspired by your relationship, pets, or inside jokes.
Ideas:
The Blushing Bride – Rosé, elderflower liqueur, and fresh lemon
The Dapper Groom – Whiskey, ginger beer, and a splash of lime
The Honeymooner – Coconut rum, pineapple juice, and a float of grenadine
Pro tip: Add signage with the name, ingredients, and why it’s meaningful to you!
☕ 2. Hot Cocoa or Coffee Bar (Perfect for Fall/Winter Weddings!)
Guests love a cozy drink station, especially at cooler weddings. Set up a DIY hot cocoa bar with:
Marshmallows
Whipped cream
Chocolate shavings
Peppermint sticks
Flavored syrups (hazelnut, vanilla, caramel)
Optional add-ins: Baileys, Kahlúa, or peppermint schnapps
For coffee lovers, offer espresso, flavored creamers, and maybe a custom mug station as a favor!
(And if you're getting married at Rose Briar Place, you’ll love that our Majestic Package includes a hot cocoa baralready built in 🥰)
🍋 3. Infused Water & Lemonade Stations
Perfect for outdoor or summer weddings, these non-alcoholic drink stations are as refreshing as they are beautiful.
DIY Flavors:
Cucumber mint water
Strawberry basil lemonade
Blueberry lavender sparkling water
Peach and thyme iced tea
Use clear glass dispensers so guests can see all the colorful fruit and herbs — it’s a photo op and hydration in one!
🍾 4. Mimosa or Bellini Bar (Great for Brunch Weddings)
Hosting a daytime or brunch wedding? Your guests will love a DIY mimosa bar where they can mix and match their own bubbly drinks.
You’ll need:
Champagne or prosecco (and sparkling cider for a mocktail version)
Juices: Orange, peach, mango, pomegranate
Fresh fruits: Strawberries, raspberries, blueberries
Fun signage and cute drink tags
Want to get extra fancy? Add cotton candy or edible flowers to the mix!
🍹 5. Build-Your-Own Cocktail Station
If you're going all in on the fun, set up a full DIY cocktail bar with a bartender or coordinator overseeing. Let guests choose their own mix-ins and garnishes!
Ideas:
Margarita Bar with flavored syrups, jalapeño slices, and Tajín rims
Mojito Station with fresh mint, lime, fruit purées, and sugar cubes
Bloody Mary Bar with pickles, bacon, olives, and hot sauces galore
Make sure everything is clearly labeled and keep plenty of mixers on ice!
🧊 6. Personalized Mocktails for Kids & Non-Drinkers
Show love to every guest with signature mocktails that are just as fun as the boozy versions.
Ideas:
Love Potion Punch – Cranberry juice, lemon-lime soda, and a twist of lime
Minty Lime Fizz – Club soda, mint simple syrup, and fresh lime
Strawberry Sparkle – Strawberry puree, lemonade, and a splash of ginger ale
Add cute garnishes and colorful straws for that extra-special feel.
