easy, elegant entertaining

Hey, Reader!

Forget breakfast β€” brunch is the most important meal of the day (at least on the weekends).

Why do I love brunch? Let me count the ways. It allows for a chance to sleep in, pets permitting. The food definitely tops my usual smoothie or overnight oats. And, the drinks.

Whether you want something boozy, something bubbly or something with both, brunch bevvies do it all. Here are some of my favorites for hosting as the weather warm up that would be great for celebrating with mom this weekend, too:

guava mimosa

Mimosas are a brunch classic and guava brings a sweet variation that is so welcome in the spring and summer. For me, guavas bring back fond memories of dessert with my grandparents β€” their light and bright taste takes me right back to those happy times!

strawberry mocktail

Sweet strawberries lend their color and flavor to this stunning booze-free drink. Better yet, the ingredient list is short and simple and the whole drink takes just minutes to make.

orange crush

The orange crush is a bright, zesty and citrus-packed drink made of orange juice, orange vodka, orange liqueur and lemon-lime soda. The combo of citrus flavor and bubbles makes it ultra-refreshing!

raspberry mule

Dreamy and pink, this raspberry mule is a sweet-tart way to kick off the day! Plus, mules are easy to make so you're able to join in the conversation rather than being stuck at the bar.

strawberry rosΓ© sangria

Sweet, swanky and made by the pitcher, strawberry rosΓ© sangria is perfect for a crowd. It's especially delicious with fresh berries from your local farmer's market.

If you're looking to wow your brunch companions, a mimosa bar is the answer. Provide the fixings and let your guests do the rest, crafting a drink that fits their tastes.

Happy brunching!

easy, elegant entertaining Hey, Reader! Now that Memorial Day has come and gone, most would say that summer is here. I would agree, despite the cooler temperatures β€” certainly not complaining as I know it'll be plenty hot soon! No matter what the weather looks like, a new season is the perfect chance to switch up your sips. While there are some summer favorites I just can't let go of (looking at you, margarita), there are so many good drinks out there to choose from! If you're feeling...

easy, elegant entertaining Hey, Reader! I've got big plans for the long weekend. Very exciting plans. Probably the best plans I've had in a long while. This weekend, I'm ... hanging at home. And while that may not sound super exciting, after a season of playing nurse to my pup and tending to alternating colds, I couldn't be more ready to say hello to summer. To really make a weekend at home more than just a weekend at home, you need something special. Enter, summer drinks. The best summer...

easy, elegant entertaining Hey, Reader! I remember when I thought tea was just for afternoon pick-me-ups and parties. Now I love bringing its cozy flavor and community-vibe to cocktails! Tea time can truly be anytime thanks to a tasty variety of hot and cold variations on the steeped sipper. The best part is that these drinks are easy to customize β€” swap out the sweetener, switch out the type of tea, add a complementary flavor β€” so that you're left with something you'll love. Whether you're...
