If you caught yesterday’s introductory feature, you already know that the event was a spectacular affair brought to life in a festive spectrum of jewel tones. Up next: the tasty candy-inspired cocktails that kept guests repeating, One more, please! Hand-crafted by Lucky 13 Cocktail Co. and accessorized with rock candy stir sticks & rainbow sugar on the rims, The Savvy Freshen Up and the Cotton Candy Cosmo fit right in. Lucky for us, we’ve got the recipes…
For all the baubles & bubbly details, peruse the eye candy, the invites, & the flowers
From Athena at Lucky 13, “Creating cocktails to specific theme’s is always fun. The Cotton Candy Cosmo was a true challenge as I don’t normally create sweet cocktails. My goal was to craft a cocktail that would create a playful nostalgia and mimic the colorful Kendra Scott jewels. It came out jewel-tone pink and brought back favorite memories of fun times – exactly my end desire.”
