My favorite moment to capture is always the reaction to that first sip! 🤯😁😌

We are beyond grateful for our wonderful couples who choose Bender Mixology to help make their big day a little bit more special. Amazing drinks, great food, the perfect beat, and professional service make for the perfect Fall wedding, and this one was a blast! Terry from Music in Motion DJ Shows and Smokin K's BBQ & Cajun Cuisine along with Bender Mixology made the dream team. 😎✨

The classic Filibuster is a Canadian-style Rye-based Sour featuring maple, egg white, and bitters. My fall-inspired twist adds a nutty essence that elevates this classic into creamy, nutty perfection. 🍁🥃
With top-notch ingredients and a proper reverse dry shake, you can enjoy this at home for yourself!

Remember these two fall masterpieces? My favorite creations always start with a specific story or flavor goal in mind.

The Fig & Fable Manhattan captures the fairytale side of autumn. Imagine the perfect Manhattan crafted for a medieval castle gala—balancing warm spice, bitter depth, and sweet fig. It is a truly royal, sensory experience.

The Nirvana Tea brings two of my absolute favorite flavors together: matcha and pistachio. Layering vodka with a citrus-forward amaro and Benedictine creates a beautiful balance between botanical sophistication and high-end luxury.

Both of these belong in a storybook. If you were sitting in my speakeasy tonight, are you choosing the royal spice of the Fig & Fable, or the botanical luxury of the Nirvana Tea? Let me know below! 👇

Pumpkin Spice Espresso Martinis are all the rage this fall, but did you know that pumpkin spice acts better as an “anchoring” flavor rather than a standalone flavor in an espresso martini? 🍁🎃

When I set out to design a custom pumpkin spice espresso martini for a fall wedding, I figured out pretty quickly that anchoring pumpkin spice with a specific complimentary flavor yields the best possible version.

But I didn’t just come up with one, I came up with three! So, which one of these should I add to my portfolio for future clients?

• Salted Caramel Pumpkin Spice Espresso Martini

•Hazelnut Pumpkin Spice Espresso Martini

• Brown Butter Maple Pumpkin Spice Espresso Martini

Stop crowdsourcing your wedding on Facebook. 🛑 Relying on echo chambers and "who they know" recommendations is the fastest way to risk subpar service—or worse. Build your dream day your way through independent research on exactly what matches your vision. Because you deserve to have vendors that actually care about bringing your vision to life. ✨

Check out these gorgeous fall wedding menu designs! Curating story-driven, botanical menus for couples will always be my passion. As I continue to refine my creative design skills, each couple that I work with gets 3 dynamic concepts based on their invitation style, drink choices, and seasonal preferences. This specialty menu has been such an amazing project! ✨
