25 Easy & Festive Drinks to Stir Up for Mother’s Day Brunch

If you’re hosting Mother’s Day brunch this year, you know that just as important as the food being served are the drinks for mom and everyone else in the family to be enjoying out in the sunshine. These 25 drinks are extra festive and ideal for toasting mom — whether you go for a twist on classic mimosas, fruity sangria, or crowd-pleasing mocktails.

There may be no better way to toast to mom than with something bubbly at brunch. This year, go above and beyond by filling her flute with something different than the usual orange juice mimosa.

If your mom is more a fan of Bloody Marys than sparkling brunch cocktails, make a big batch for everyone to sip on. Go classic or try something new, like one spiked with spicy jalapeños.
