Gav and Kellys Wedding with a guest appearance from Muddler Cocktails!

Well it’s almost a week since we last wrote a blog which shows how busy we have been!

The end of last week finished with Gav and Kellys wedding. It was a beautiful day, on the coast in Suffolk with the most amazing views out over the sea and for the first time in weeks, fittingly, the sun shone.

We always knew that this was going to be an emotionally charged day and I think from the moment Kelly stepped across the threshold into the service everyone had a lump in their throat. It was such a great occasion. Gav was dressed in a white suit and looked the business and Kelly was simply stunning, but this wasn't a stuffy, formal affair. It was relaxed just like they are and although it was serious and meant so much, Gav couldn't help breaking into his cheeky chappy smile every now and again!

After the service there were some reception drinks overlooking the bay and Gav and Kelly had agreed to serve Muddler Cocktails as one of the drinks! This was going to be a very telling moment for us as it was an immediate way to gauge a reaction to the drink to a wide and diverse audience.

To begin with most people opted for the glass of red or white wine, with only a few people who new what the other drink was, going for a Muddler’s. But the few that did take the Muddler’s quickly created a buzz around it and before long we could see the drink spreading throughout the whole wedding party.

The feedback was fantastic. It tasted like a real cocktail, the alcohol flavour was strong but complemented the flavour of the fruits, it was refreshing and not too sweet, and ultimately it was very drinkable.

It was great news and so good to see people with our drink in their hands enjoying it. By the end it was going so fast the waiters were coming out with it in the bottles so people could top themselves up.

Here are some photos that Dee took of the Muddler experience…

The last piece of evidence for the success of Muddlers is below. The Geography lot were all staying in the most amazing place called the house in the clouds. On the morning of the wedding some people had fancied a Muddler before the service but all the glasses had been used the night before. Not letting this stop them Rob came up with a solution. Below you can see Rob handing out Muddlers in Ice cream glasses. Not quite the image we had imagined for Muddler Cocktails but it still tasted great!
