With plenty of opportunities for toasting, a bridal shower is an ideal event for including a signature cocktail. But with so many options, it can be tough to settle on one. Here, we rounded up our favorite bridal shower drinks, from punch recipes and fruity, ice-cold cocktails to creamy, milk-based sips. Cheers!
Grapefruit and Mint Mojito
Is anything more refreshing than a minty mojito? Yep—just add Ruby Red grapefruit to the mix for a sweet-and-sour twist.
White Russian
Try this decadently creamy White Russian, sure to please anyone with a sweet tooth. It’s perfect for an all-white shower or a wintertime soiree.
Mint Limeade
Carrying your colors through to the drinks and food is unexpected and elevates simple refreshments to shower fare. This simple display lets guests help themselves. Mint limeade and pink lemonade in glass containers are identified with computer-printed labels, attached to ribbon with double-sided tape.
Rose Punch
For this delicious and refreshing rose punch, use a big rose from Spain or South America, like Bodega Inurrieta’s Mediodia Rosado from Navarra, Spain. Made from 100 percent garnacha grapes, this wine has bold, ripe flavors of strawberries and raspberries, as well as heady aromas of rose petals. It makes for a wonderful base for practically any mixed drink, including our rose punch, concocted from sparkling lemonade, Chambord, raspberries, pineapple, and, of course, rose wine. The best part is, you can make it ahead and chill, then set it out for shower guests to enjoy.
Pomegranate Soda
An easy and delicious drink, this pomegranate soda is nonalcoholic and has a beautiful blush tone, perfect for a girly shower.
Lavender Champagne
Offered as an apertif or for a toast, this aromatic drink evokes the romance of the South of France with each sparkling sip, and makes the perfect cocktail to serve to shower guests.
Watermelon Lemonade
A refreshing and cooling twist on lemonade. This recipe for watermelon lemonade is sure to be a crowd pleaser and is perfect to serve at a shower during the summer months.
Danish Mary with Celery Ice
An excellent idea for a bridal shower brunch: Set up a Bloody Mary bar with a pitcher of cocktail and different garnishes, so guests can build their own drinks.
Red Apple Sangria
Sangria originated in Spain, and takes its name from the word “sangre,” which means “blood.” It can be made ahead in a big batch—perfect for a busy shower host—and should be served as cold as possible.
Pear and Cranberry Bellini
This pretty drink is perfect for a bridal shower; a great cocktail to serve as a toast to the bride-to-be.
Pomegranate Champagne
In Greek mythology, the pomegranate represents the bond of marriage as well as fertility. What better symbol to serve to shower guests in order to toast the bride-to-be?
Ginger Sparkler
This white drink is made with fresh ginger, sugar, and dry sparkling wine such as Prosecco. With this delicious combination, shower guests will be coming back for seconds.
Menning Mimosa

Lemon Drop-Champagne Punch
