Our friends at Mutiny Bay Distillery (remember our fun tour and tasting?) have developed some wonderful cocktail recipes that we know would be absolute stars at your Whidbey Island wedding! Each of the following recipes features Mutiny Bay Distillery’s (MBD) products, which will lend an authentic island vibe to your cocktail hour. MBD’s whiskey is made from wheat grown on the family farm in the Palouse region of Washington State. The blueberries in MBD’s silky blueberry liqueur are grown at the farm next door to the distillery and their ultra-smooth coffee liqueur uses locally roasted Useless Bay Coffee Company’s Sweet Baby Island blend. If unique cocktails featuring local ingredients matter to you, the good people of Mutiny Bay Distillery have what you need!
Below are some of the signature cocktail recipes MBD have shared with us. We can’t wait to see what you choose to feature for your Whidbey Island wedding!
