Coconut Rum Punch

Tropical, creamy, and bright, this is a fun signature drink for beach or destination-inspired weddings.

Covesa’s Tips

• Add a personal touch by naming your cocktails after the couple, a special memory or the wedding theme.

• Presentation matters! Thin fresh garnishes, creative glassware or custom drink stirrers.

• Offer a non-alcoholic version of at least one signature cocktail to include all guests.
