In Los Angeles, no two events are ever the same—and neither should be the drinks. You can change this with signature Cocktails.

Whether it’s a rooftop wedding, a Beverly Hills birthday bash, or a corporate launch in Santa Monica, one-size-fits-all bar menus are out. In 2025, the most memorable events feature signature cocktails designed for the moment.

At Party Shakers, we craft drinks that fit the occasion, match the vibe, and spark conversations. Here’s your guide to the best signature cocktail ideas for every kind of LA celebration—and how to make cocktails unforgettable.

Top Signature Picks for Weddings:

  • The “First Kiss” Fizz – Gin, elderflower, prosecco, lemon

Showers & Daytime Events: Light, Fresh, and Inclusive

Bridal showers, baby showers, and brunches are becoming more elevated in LA, and the drinks need to match the mood—especially with mocktail options. Also remember to enhance your events with a photobooth.

Examples from Real LA Events:

  • The Pumpkin Spice Old Fashioned – Thanksgiving dinner in Brentwood
  • Midnight Kiss Martini – NYE countdown in DTLA
  • Vampire’s Elixir – Blackberry + activated charcoal at a haunted bar pop-up

And yes—we’ll match your drink names to the theme, create festive garnishes, and even add glitter (if you’re into that).

Party Shakers Makes Signature Cocktails Easy

You don’t need to know mixology. That’s what we’re here for.

Our process for creating signature cocktails:

  • We ask about your event type, theme, and color palette
  • We present 2–3 drink concepts for each occasion
  • You taste, tweak, and approve
  • We bring it to life—with full-service bar staff, signage, and glassware

All drinks can be made in mocktail format too, so everyone can participate.

External Insight: Personalization Is the New Standard

According to The Knot’s 2025 Wedding Trends, custom drinks and branded bar experiences are now expected at upscale events. Nearly 70% of LA-based couples opted for signature cocktails in 2024—and that number is still rising.
