Bruch Cocktails That Aren’t Just Mimosas

Everyone knows the best meal of the day is brunch. The infamous cocktail hour between breakfast and lunch that serves both waffles and salads. We know the food is always it but mimosas don’t need to be the only star of the cocktail show during brunch. We’ve gathered the perfect list of a bit different bubbling champagne cocktails to meals-to-drink cocktails, we’re looking at you Bloody Mary. So toast this weekend’s brunch with a little something different to sip on from our list of favorite brunch cocktails.

Who doesn’t want a little pick-me-up with their cocktail, and this one will get you both buzzed and perked up. Switch out some of the classic ingredients for cold brew coffee or bailey’s but however you concoct it, it will be the best part of waking up.

 

Bloody Bulldog

Typically a Bloody Mary is made with vodka, but that doesn’t mean it need to exclusively be made with vodka, or tomato juice for that matter. The Bloody Bulldog begins with Bulldog gin, but really any London gin will do. Other mix-ins include traditional tomato juice, lemon juice, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, and of course you can garnish with celery  or whatever tickles your fancy.

 

Brunch Sangria
