Cocktails and After diner drinks

Most, ok all of my clients offer a cocktail hour for their guests between ceremony and reception. I love adding a signature drink, fun cocktail napkins and maybe personalized stirrers.
But
what about doing something fun for after dinner drinks?
Spruce up the coffee station by offering Sambucca, Baileys or Peppermint schnapps with coffee.
What about setting up a signature drink station at this time -

Espresso Martini's
1 oz cold espresso
1 1/2 oz vodka
1 1/2 oz Kahlua
1 oz white creme de cacao

Pour ingredients into shaker filled with ice, shake vigorously, and strain into chilled martini glass.

Add a chocolate rim to the glasses first:
-Melt semisweet or white chocolate in microwave to get thin.
-Hold glass at angle and rotate rim of glass in chocolate. Repeat around glass and make sure its even.
-Refrigerate until ready to serve.
