Short answer
A signature drink sign should be around 8x10 or 11x14 inches, depending on where you place it. It needs to be readable from a few feet away but small enough to sit neatly on the bar or a nearby table.
For a signature drink sign, you do not need a huge board. An 8x10 inch sign works well on a cocktail table or next to the drinks. If the bar is busy, an 11x14 inch sign is easier to spot from a short distance. The main goal is that guests can read the drink name and any description without crowding the bar.
Keep the text simple. Include the drink name, a short line about what is in it, and maybe a fun note like "Please enjoy." Use a clear font and high contrast between the text and background. Avoid long paragraphs.
Think about the placement. If the sign will sit behind the bar, make it larger so bartenders and guests can see it. If it is on a table in front of the bar, a smaller sign is fine. You can also use a small easel or a frame to hold it upright.
If you have two signature drinks, you might want two separate signs, each about 8x10 inches, rather than one large sign. That keeps things tidy and easy to read.
