Brooke and Geoffrey met at Brother Jimmy’s, a bar on the Upper West Side. A year and a half later, he popped the question on a catamaran in the Caribbean. Their black-tie reception, with a black-and-white theme, will be held in November at a swank rooftop event space in downtown Manhattan.

Loves to Drink:
Southsides with vodka

BROOKE	GEOFFREY
Loves: Swimming, her book club, Westhampton		Loves: Cooking, the Jets, running in Central Park
Loves to Drink: Pellegrino
Her Signature Cocktail Sochi Swizzle Vodka, mint, lime juice, sugar, Angostura bitters, crushed ice, mint sprig “It’s minty and crisp, like the Southside she often orders, but has a touch more complexity thanks to the bitters. The swizzle method and crushed ice make it appropriate for a black-tie wedding. They may need a tri-colored cocktail to mix up the two-tone décor, too.”		His Signature Cocktail Cucumber Rickey Muddled cucumber, lime juice, simple syrup, club soda, cucumber rounds “It’s wonderfully refreshing, and also healthy—pertinent for this athletic couple—and incorporates the texture and feel of a non-virgin cocktail.”
