A practical wedding drinks guide for Champagne toasts, elegant signature cocktails and alcohol-free sparkling options — featuring celebration-ready bottles from MyDrinx.
Wedding drinks should feel beautiful, easy to serve and right for the moment. A wedding bar is not only about having enough bottles. It is about creating a drinks flow that matches the day: a welcome drink, a Champagne toast, a signature cocktail, dinner pairings, late-night serves and alcohol-free options for guests who do not drink.
The best wedding drinks are simple, photogenic and reliable. Champagne works for the official toast. A floral or citrus cocktail gives the reception a personal signature. A good alcohol-free sparkling bottle makes sure every guest can join the celebration.
This guide explains what to serve for wedding toasts, which bottles work for signature cocktails, and why alcohol-free options should be planned from the beginning.

Why Wedding Drinks Need a Plan
Weddings move in stages. The drinks should move with them.
A good wedding drinks plan usually includes:
-
a welcome drink
-
Champagne or sparkling wine for the toast
-
one or two signature cocktails
-
wine or beer for dinner
-
non-alcoholic drinks
-
water and mixers
-
something light for late-night dancing
The goal is not to create a complicated bar. The goal is to make the drinks feel intentional. A Champagne toast should feel elegant. A signature cocktail should feel personal. Alcohol-free options should feel just as polished as the alcoholic drinks.

Featured Wedding Drinks from MyDrinx
1. Taittinger Champagne Brut Prestige 12.5% Vol. 0.75L
Taittinger Champagne Brut Prestige 12.5% Vol. 0.75L is a classic choice for a wedding toast. The MyDrinx product page describes it as an elegant and finely balanced Champagne from France, connected with the renowned Champagne house Taittinger and known for freshness, finesse and stylish character.
This is the bottle to choose when the moment needs to feel official: the first toast, the couple’s entrance, speeches, cake cutting or a premium reception table.
Why it stands out: Famous Champagne house, elegant Brut style, French origin and strong wedding-toast appeal.
Best for: Champagne toasts, wedding receptions, speeches, cake cutting, elegant dinner service and celebration photos.

2. St. Germain Elderflower Liqueur 20% Vol. 0.7L
St. Germain Elderflower Liqueur 20% Vol. 0.7L is a beautiful bottle for wedding signature cocktails. The MyDrinx product page describes it as an award-winning French elderflower liqueur in an Art Deco bottle, with a floral style that works well in elegant cocktails.
This bottle is especially useful for weddings because elderflower feels light, romantic and easy to pair with sparkling wine, Champagne, soda, citrus and gin. It can be used for a simple elderflower spritz, a wedding welcome drink or a floral Champagne cocktail.
Why it stands out: Floral elderflower profile, French origin, elegant bottle design and strong signature-cocktail potential.
Best for: Signature cocktails, welcome drinks, elderflower spritzes, Champagne cocktails and garden weddings.
Serve idea: Mix St. Germain with sparkling wine or Champagne, soda water and lemon. For a more classic cocktail direction, the IBA French 75 uses gin, lemon juice, sugar syrup and Champagne, making it a strong inspiration for wedding cocktail menus.

3. Henkell Alcoholfree 0.0% 0.75L
Henkell Alcoholfree 0.0% 0.75L is a smart alcohol-free option for wedding toasts and guest tables. The MyDrinx product page describes it as an elegant alcohol-free alternative to classic sparkling wine, with fine bubbles, freshness and the typical Henkell sparkling style.
This bottle is important because not every wedding guest drinks alcohol. Some guests may be driving, pregnant, avoiding alcohol, pacing themselves or simply choosing a lighter option. A wedding bar feels more thoughtful when alcohol-free drinks look just as festive as the main toast.
Why it stands out: 0.0% alcohol, sparkling wine-style presentation, elegant bottle format and easy toast potential.
Best for: Alcohol-free toasts, welcome drinks, daytime weddings, drivers, mixed guest lists and inclusive wedding bars.
Serve idea: Serve chilled in Champagne flutes with berries, lemon twist or edible flowers. Keep it on the same drinks station as Champagne so alcohol-free guests do not feel like an afterthought.

Wedding Drinks by Moment
Welcome Drink
The welcome drink should be easy to hand out and easy to drink while guests arrive. A light elderflower spritz, a sparkling wine glass or an alcohol-free sparkling option works well.
Best choice: St. Germain elderflower spritz or Henkell Alcoholfree 0.0%.
Ceremony Toast
The ceremony toast should feel clean, elegant and simple. Champagne is the strongest option when the moment is formal and photographed.
Best choice: Taittinger Champagne Brut Prestige.
Signature Cocktail
A signature cocktail gives the wedding personality. It should be easy for the bar team to repeat quickly and should not require too many ingredients.
Good wedding signature cocktail ideas:
-
Elderflower Spritz
-
French 75-style cocktail
-
Champagne & Elderflower
-
Citrus Garden Spritz
-
Alcohol-Free Sparkling Rose Glass
-
His & Hers Cocktail Pair
Best choice: St. Germain Elderflower Liqueur.
Dinner Drinks
Dinner drinks should match the menu. For light menus, sparkling wine, white wine and spritzes work well. For richer food, Champagne, red wine, whiskey cocktails or simple highballs may fit better.
Late-Night Drinks
Late-night drinks should be simple. Avoid complicated cocktails when guests are dancing. Use easy serves: sparkling wine, beer, spritzes, gin and tonic, rum and cola, tequila highballs or alcohol-free sparkling drinks.
Champagne Toasts: How to Make Them Feel Better
A Champagne toast is not only about the bottle. It is also about timing, temperature and glassware.
Tips:
-
Chill Champagne properly before service.
-
Pour shortly before the toast.
-
Do not overfill glasses.
-
Keep alcohol-free sparkling bottles ready for non-drinking guests.
-
Use the same glassware style for alcoholic and alcohol-free toasts.
-
Plan who receives alcohol-free pours in advance if possible.
Champagne should feel cold, fresh and elegant — not rushed or warm.
Signature Cocktails for Weddings
A wedding signature cocktail should be beautiful, fast and easy to understand. The best ones use a short ingredient list and a clear flavor direction.
Elderflower Wedding Spritz
Use St. Germain, sparkling wine, soda water and lemon. Serve over ice in wine glasses.
French 75-Inspired Toast
Use gin, lemon, sugar syrup and Champagne. This is elegant, citrusy and very wedding-friendly.
Champagne Elderflower Cocktail
Use Champagne, St. Germain and lemon peel in a flute for a more formal version.
Alcohol-Free Sparkling Toast
Use Henkell Alcoholfree 0.0% with berries or lemon twist.
Alcohol-Free Wedding Options
Alcohol-free drinks should not look like an emergency replacement. They should look intentional.
Offer at least one of these:
-
alcohol-free sparkling wine
-
sparkling tea
-
alcohol-free aperitif
-
premium tonic or soda
-
citrus cooler
-
fruit spritz
-
alcohol-free welcome glass
This matters because modern weddings usually include guests who do not drink. The CDC notes that adults who choose to drink should do so in moderation, and also states that some people should not drink at all. Including polished alcohol-free choices makes the wedding more inclusive and helps guests pace themselves.
