Combining your mom’s favorite liquor with fresh scents, fruity tastes, and florals creates an excellent Mother’s Day drink.
Most recipes I included here require ice or are served cold to pair well with the change of the seasons and the lightness in the air.
Check out my list of the top Mother’s Day cocktails to determine which one you will serve your guests at the next gathering honoring the women and mothers in your life!
The French 75 has simple ingredients but a fresh and zesty taste that will have your guests asking for another!
The drink has a lightness from the bubbles and sweetness from the lemon juice and simple syrup combination. The gin is perfect for that extra punch. Serve this cocktail over ice for the best taste!
This recipe includes only three ingredients, so you can whip it up as an after-meal dessert drink or welcome drink in minutes!
Use mom’s favorite sorbet, 100-proof bourbon, and champagne or sparkling wine to create a drink that looks as complex as it tastes! The sorbet and bubbles mitigate the heaviness of the bourbon, creating a balanced flavor.
Gin has natural hints of florals, so pairing it with tonic water, and in this case, prosecco, creates a perfectly refreshing and balanced taste on the tongue.
This recipe calls for a garnish of mint, cucumber, and a splash of elderflower cordial, along with the gin. Do not omit these ingredients as they add that extra something special.
The Old Fashioned is a popular cocktail for nights out on the town. For a Mother’s Day dinner cocktail, try out this old fashioned recipe!
It is easy to make and only includes a few ingredients, including Brenne whisky. Garnish with mom’s favorite delicate flower for that extra touch.
This cocktail is a multi-step cocktail, so while it is beautiful and tasty, prepare it ahead of time! Its alcohol base is gin, but the rose component to this Rose Collins comes from a rose simple syrup made from scratch.
Impress those at your Mother’s Day function by serving this refreshing and unique cocktail!
What says brunch more than a mimosa? This Mother’s Day mimosa granita is a level above the rest because of the granita component.
This recipe makes 4-6 servings. The alcohol component is champagne. You can sip this drink or eat it with a spoon as a boozy dessert!
If your mother loves gin, you have got to try this recipe! With the beautifully bottled garden flora gin, you can create gorgeous cocktails that are light and floral.
This recipe uses the garden flora gin to create a rosemary floral greyhound. Try it out and serve it in your fanciest glass.
This simple recipe calls for a strawberry puree topped with sparkling wine or champagne. Serve in a flute glass with a strawberry on the rim for the best effect!
For best results, soak the strawberries in champagne for at least four hours to infuse the flavors and increase the alcohol content of the strawberry puree.
This pink vodka recipe makes enough for eight people, so it is the perfect addition to an outdoor Mother’s Day event! The prominent alcohol component in this drink is vodka. Serve with a watermelon garnish for the perfect addition to a hot summer day.
Keeping with the pink theme, this sorbet rose float is an excellent choice for a Mother’s Day event. This recipe is simple. All you need is rose, raspberry sorbet, and raspberries! Serve in a champagne flute or wine glass.
Ginger and sage are two ingredients you might not have thought of pairing, but this cocktail makes a strong case for it! It’s a light and delicate drink containing prosecco as the main component.
In addition, if you need a recipe for a large group, this is a great choice. It makes enough for eight to ten guests!
Another recipe with gin that I love is this minty cucumber gin spritz. Spritzes are the perfect drink for a summer or springtime party. It is a light cocktail with gin and a topping of prosecco, along with mint and cucumber. Serve in a champagne flute for the best effect!
To make a blushing mimosa, you need prosecco or champagne, pineapple juice, orange juice, and grenadine. It is a more tropical-tasting take on the traditional brunch drink, but it is still delicious nonetheless.
Add maraschino cherries to the bottom of your serving glass to amp up the reddish-orange color.
This twist on a mimosa is much easier to execute than you might think. Simply add champagne topped with raspberry lemonade and fresh raspberries. Sprinkle sugar on the raspberries before serving for a little extra sweetness!
Every mom should get the royal treatment on Mother’s Day, so why not serve her this cocktail? It is a gorgeous purple color and made with Empress 1908 gin. Add gin and white cranberry juice together, then add fruit garnishes like kiwi, blackberry, mint, and raspberry. Top with sparkling wine to finish it off!
Cheers!
