There’s no better way to celebrate the moms in your life this Mother’s Day than with a lavish brunch or dinner full of her favorite recipes. Over the meal, make it extra memorable with a toast, made special with a cocktail tailored just to her. We’ve got 37 ideas for you here—with everything from smoky, bourbon-based sippers to light and fruity refreshers, you’re sure to find something your mom will love. Cheers!
We’ve included a number of classic cocktails here, all with just a little twist that makes them worthy of the most important women in your life. Mother’s Day is in May, after all, when all the best produce starts appearing in stores, and we’re taking advantage of all of it. Simply adding fruit, like we did in our vanilla peach bellinis, our blueberry gin & tonic or our blackberry margaritas is just the thing to make your mom feel taken care of. Even our brunch cocktails are getting this treatment: A mimosa or a Bloody Mary are both relatively straightforward drinks, but we take them OTT with the optional additions of orange bitters and pickle juice, respectively. Feel free to get creative and add your mom’s favorite flavors too.
We’ve also got a number of options here for the moms who are down to try anything new and exciting. Check out our pisco sour, our honey deuce cocktail, our rum runner, our kalimotxo (shout out to the Coca Cola-loving moms), or our last word cocktail. Trying new things together is always a fun time, and you never know, you might find a new family favorite.
Is your mom more of a teetotaler than a cocktail drinker? We’ve got her too—check out our favorite non-alcoholic drinks and our best mocktails so she doesn’t have to miss out.
