Ginger beer cocktails and DIY Travel Journal

Hello and thanks for joining us for another #WeddingWednesday on Periscope!  We had a fun episode this week exploring ginger beer cocktails, a fun “un-plugged” DIY project and talking about how to pay for your honeymoon using travel rewards.

Signature Cocktail(s): Moscow Mule, Kentucky Mule & Dark and Stormy

Ginger beer cocktails

Like so many people, we here at #WeddingWednesday LOVE ginger beer! We thought it would be fun to spotlight the three most popular ginger beer cocktails. Any one of them would make a great signature cockail, or how fun to offer all three? A ginger beer bar!  Another fun idea is to use mini alcohol bottles and conduct a tasting pre-wedding to help you choose your favorite.
