AISLE TO ISLE | AISLE TO ISLE | 128 Consider the time of year to enhance the authenticity of your guests’ culinary experience. Opt for a seasonal lobster salad on endive with a Cantaloupe Margarita for a light bite and sweet sip combo. Other island favorites include Stamp and Go (salted cod fritters), fish goujons with remoulade sauce, and bacon-wrapped plantains. S E A S O N A L S A M P L I N G S Keep in mind, the culinary teams at Sandals and Beaches are fully trained to take care of special guest requests. “We offer such a variety that any dietary requirement can be catered to. No matter if the couple is vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, we can create a culinary experience that will work for them,” says DuQuesnay. And any well-crafted signature cocktail also makes a fantastic mocktail for guests who don’t drink alcohol. No matter which pairings you choose for your nuptials, this is an opportunity to use the islands as inspiration — and to make your celebration a memorable and tasteful showstopper. F O O D ( A N D D R I N K ) F O R E V E R Y O N E To offer a wider variety of favorites and flavors to your guests, draw inspiration from locales around the world. Try a Sparkling Sangria (sparkling wine, Pinot Grigio, triple sec, and orange juice) with grilled bruschetta, tomato, garlic, and basil. Berry Happy Together (sparkling wine, vodka, blackberry brandy, Chambord, and pineapple juice) is a fantastic accompaniment for smoked salmon canapés with capers. G E T G L O B A L COCKTAILS AND CANAPÉS Once the wedding party moves to the dance floor, feel free to change up the cocktail menu, too. Late night cocktails, such as an Appley Ever After (apple cider, Canadian whiskey, Sprite, lime juice, and simple syrup) or a Spicy Watermelon Margarita pair well with a variety of crave-conquering, one-bite samplers: shrimp quesadillas, mini burgers with all the trimmings, buffalo chicken wings, and mini grilled cheese sandwiches. Your guests will thank you for sending them to their suites with enough sustenance until tomorrow. L A T E - N I G H T B I T E S
