Wild Thyme‘s client requested a wedding menu that was going to honor the cultural background of both the bride and the groom.  Something elegant enough for an evening wedding, but recognizable enough to please a crowd.  Little did they know that this simple request could breed an ingenious cross-cultural masterpiece that was mind-blowingly delicious!

Call them your beer truck, wine truck or bar on wheels, but they are more formally known as Tap Truck where they provide cocktail catering. Their services and experience range from catered events of 25 guests to 5,000 parched folks.

Let them know your favorite: craft beer, craft cider, pale ale, pilsner, stout, lager, wheat beer, saison, amber ale, ipa (india pale ale), or even kegged wine that they can supply by a nitro tap. Then Tap Truck can show up as your mobile bar anywhere they can legally serve the thirst quenching party beverages.

Check out this Electric Vodka Lemonade from BevMo!! The American themed presentation will be a hit at any bridal event!

Electric Lemonade (one serving)
2 ounces Skyy vodka
1 ounce Hiram Walker blue curacao
2 ounces Santa Cruz lemonade
1 ounce sweet & sour
Cherries for garnishing
Ice

To make a pitcher of this lemonade for a large group, multiple these measurements by the number of guests you expect.

If you’re feeling especially spirited, freeze a cherry or raspberry lemonade to use as ice cubes. The color will begin to change as the ice melts, but the initial presentation is fabulous.
