20 Fancy Mother’s Day Cocktails to Toast Mom This Weekend
Cheers to mom!
Mother's Day is this weekend, and you still have time to do something special for her if you’re looking for one more little thing to add to the festivities. A homemade gift is always nice, and of course that could mean a spectacular brunch or even a nice homemade dinner.
But you know what will make your favorite mom feel even more special? A just-for-her, wildly inventive, handmade spring cocktail. If Mom is into mixed drinks, then go the extra mile and break out your cocktail shaker or your best punch bowl.
Shake something up, put it in a fancy glass, and garnish it with some edible flowers, or something else beautiful and delicate. And say thanks for raising you—after all, mom raised you to be polite.
Blackberry Gin Smash
Tart blackberries pair perfectly with sweet maple syrup to make this a cocktail that’s perfectly delicious and refreshing for a Mother’s Day celebration. Feel free to substitute raspberries or a handful of blueberries for the blackberries!
The Sunflower Cocktail
Mix up this bright, light treat (featuring fresh sunflower petals to garnish!) for your sunniest mother.
White Sparkling Sangria
Full of fresh fruit and two types of white wine, this sparkling sangria will be a huge hit for Mother’s Day. Whether you’re having a brunch or a nice dinner, this bubbly beverage is just right for the occasion.
Spring Gin Flip
If mom loves a classic cocktail with a twist, this is it. The chamomile-infused simple syrup is easy to make, and absolutely delicious.
Cucumber and Mint Lemonade with Tequila
If Mom loves fancy lemonade and margaritas, this surprisingly good drink is a great way to give her elements of both.
Mint Tulip Cocktail
This citrus-packed vodka-based drink is best served in (mom's favorite) floral-adorned glasses, of course!
Strawberry and Sparkling Rosé Punch
This Mother's Day brunch cocktail turns a bottle of sparkling wine rosé into a springtime delight.
Pink Grapefruit Margaritas
Is there ever a bad time for margaritas? (No. No, there is not.)
Blueberry Mint Cocktail
To give this bright sipper even more flavor, use wild blueberries, which can be found in the frozen section.
Daisy Buchanan Cocktail
Named after F. Scott Fitzgerald's golden girl, this elegant picnic drink is equally at home on picnics or at lavish parties.
Strawberry-Lemonade Punch
This sweetly refreshing berry punch is kid-friendly, from the star-shaped fruit, to the non-alcoholic base. But you can adult it up for mom with a little rum or vodka.
Peach Melba Mimosas
What says "Mother's Day Bruch" better than mimosas? Homemade fruit juice—from pureed raspberries and peaches—marks this as something a little more special than your typical OJ and bubbly.
Dogwood Punch
This is the quintessential cocktail: a bubbly drink bursting with sweet spring flavors.
Raspberry and Lemon Rosé Sparkler
This drink is just like mom: bright, refreshing, and full of sparkle.
Apricot Sparkler
Top off this easy recipe with a splash of Prosecco to ensure every sip is oh-so refreshing.
Spring Bouquet Cocktail
Wow mom with this pretty and pink cocktail that's a cocktail and a bouquet of (tiny, cute, edible) flowers all in one!
Lillet Spritz
Lillet blanc (and a coupe glass) takes your standard mimosa and makes it something extra special.
Sparkling Lavender Cocktail
A dash of lavender simple syrup + your favorite sparkling wine = mom's cocktail nirvana.
Blood Orange Margarita
With its pretty pink hue, this spicy margarita is perfect for Mother's Day.
Blackberry Jam Cocktails
If mom is a gin drinker, she'll love this fruity concoction.
