Must have Cocktails for your Beach Wedding in Sri Lanka

by Fritzjames Stephen Posted on

In the minds of every couple is the desire for the eventual dream wedding, one that is filled with excitement as well as bliss, untainted by any shortcomings. Here are some must-have cocktails when you are getting hitched!

Classic Margarita

The variety of choices for a refreshing beach cocktail is countless but the Classic Margarita remains an all-time favourite. It is a rather simple combination of tequila, orange, and lime but you can also add a little twist to the taste by trying out different fruit juices and different liqueurs.

Caribbean Rum Punch

If there’s a cocktail known anywhere from the Caribbean to Hawaii, it is the Caribbean Rum Punch. You can add these cocktails to the menu when you are planning your beach wedding in Sri Lanka. Any bartender at popular resorts such as AVANI Kalutara Resort will know how to make these fascinating cocktails.

Bay Breeze

For anyone who loves a taste of pineapple and cranberry with vodka, the best choice of a cocktail is the Bay Breeze. Not surprisingly, there are some variations of this drink such as the Sea Breeze where grape juice is added instead of pineapple juice. You can try to change the taste with different flavoured vodkas.

Pina Colada

Pina Colada is one of the best tropical cocktails, bringing together the flavour of pineapple and coconut with a hunch of white rum or dark rum. The best mix of ingredients is 2 oz. of white rum, 3 oz. of pineapple juice, 1 ½ oz. of cream of coconut or coconut milk, and 1 cup of ice. An optional ¼ oz. of fresh lime juice can be added to enhance the flavour.

Sri Lanka being a striking island in the Indian Ocean, with collection of long stretches of glorious sandy beaches framing the country, is the perfect destination for the tropical beach bound wedding of your dreams. Majority of the tourist hotels and beach resorts in the country such as AVANI Kalutara Resort provide wedding planning packages, which will assist you in all the arrangements and other organizations for you to host the perfect beach wedding in Sri Lanka, where all you’ll have to do, is simply show up!

However here are a few tips to consider when hosting the perfect beach wedding. As it is important to remember that keeping aside the picture perfect vision of you and the love of your life saying I do, surrounded by the turquoise waters of the Indian ocean and the backdrop of the majestic sunset; beach weddings can be messy.

The weather is also a major factor when hosting a beach wedding. In order to make sure half your decorations don’t wash away by the tide or your dress don’t get blown over your face during your celebration, check seasonal weather conditions with the professional wedding planners before scheduling your wedding. In Sri Lanka the tides will be stronger with harsher winds during the monsoon seasons, so try to avoid this unpredictable time to get married.

You will have to be prepared with high quality sound amplification devices as the waves can get pretty loud. This is something your wedding organisers will take care of, although make sure to check with them before hand to avoid any inconveniences.

Keeping the above factors in mind, run off to Sri Lanka with your better half to tie the knot beside the tranquil waters of the ocean.
