Signature cocktail

[gastro]

What type of drink would you think might be a signature cocktail at a fundraiser for a school? It's an adults only event and the theme is A Garden Party. It will be outside/inside in late April and weather should be mild and cool as the evening goes on.
There will also be beer, wine, and margaritas as part of admission but the signature cocktail will cost extra to help raise additional funds.
I'm at a loss as to what the signature cocktail should be....

Arnold Palmer with alcohol? Vodka lemonade with a name like "Dizzy Daffodil" or something?
Google "pink alcoholic drinks" and choose one and call it a blushing rose or blushing tulip.

How about a raspberry mojito? Fresh mint sounds garden ish and it looks pretty when you mottle the berries.

Or a shandy-I had one once, it was a beer with lemonade-h's British aunt had me try it. Refreshing!

Sounds like fun. The possibilities are endless. There are so many. It's maybe not what you serve but how you garnish it up. Like edible flowers frozen in the ice, or strawberries sliced up, pink sugared rims.

Mint Julep?

I would do something gin based with an herbal/floral liqueur. Maybe st. Germain?

What is the food?

I do love pimms cups, too, and they're definitely a spring-summer drink - but they seem to clash with margaritas.

Taco truck

Oh then definitely stick with something that goes with tacos/Mexican BUT is something you wouldn't make at home, you know?

What about a big batch of sangria? White sangria wit peaches & mint?

[momin2013]

Yep, I'm loving the sangria idea - maybe even do one white and one red.

[nicolewi]

Other ideas. Maybe some could be simplified.

Also,
I like the raspberry mojito idea posted above, if you can do fresh mint and everything.

Pomegranate margaritas

I love a good mojito. Another idea would be a lemon drop. I think the citrus would pair well with tacos.
