Today I'm going to talk a little about the combination of marriage and Quetzalli. And, without giving any spoilers, I can already tell you it's the perfect match! Want to know why?
It's no secret that a wedding is a very special day. Most couples make a point of sealing their union with some kind of formality. Whether it's at the registry office, a simple ceremony, a party for close friends, or a wild party, everyone wants their day to be unique and memorable.
Here comes the question: how do you transform one of the most common and ancient human traditions into something unique and truly unique to the couple? In my opinion, paying attention to the details and thinking about the experience, not only for the bride and groom but also for the guests, is essential for your wedding to be unique (and remembered only for the good things). A large part of this experience, inevitably, is related to the drinks served throughout the reception and party. This is where the protagonist of this blog comes in, our beloved Quetzalli =P
Quetzalli , besides being a ready-to-drink drink made with high-quality ingredients and no preservatives, is incredibly versatile. Its versatility means it can be used successfully at various times and in various ways throughout your wedding.
You might be wondering: how can a single drink be so flexible? Let me tell you. Let's take it one step at a time ;)
WELCOME DRINK
The guest experience begins as soon as they arrive at the reception venue. Nothing beats serving a delicious drink to welcome them. Here, Quetzalli on the rocks is the perfect choice.
You can serve it in a tall glass, add 3 or 4 ice cubes, add Quetzalli and your smooth and refreshing welcome drink is ready.
