April 24,2016
Share:

Some couples do not like serving alcoholic beverages at their wedding reception.  For some, it is for religious beliefs, while for others, it is to avoid over indulgence. In that case, mocktails come into play here. Mocktails are non alcoholic drinks made by mixing different fruit juices, iced tea or soft drinks. Mocktails are tasty and can be garnished with fruits, shrimp etc. 

Here are a few wedding favourites.
