No matter what your plans are for Mother’s Day, you can never go wrong with a cocktail created for this very special day. If you prefer, you could start with a memorable treat: Breakfast in Bed. Next to the plate of perfectly browned French toast, offer her something celebratory – a glass of bubbly, something flowery or even fruity.
If breakfast is not the time for your celebration, no worries. These light cocktails are perfect for sipping outside in the shade on a sunny afternoon as well.
Here are three simple recipes for Mom’s special day:
