Brunch is a time when you can indulge. But, it doesn’t have to be an extravagant brunch menu. Brunch cocktails are lighter, fruitier, and can be paired with food. Make sure you have some brunch cocktail ideas in your arsenal if hosting a brunch. With a little inspiration, you'll be able to impress your guests with your creativity.
Bloody Marys are essential brunch cocktails. These are great for days when you don’t feel like drinking a mimosa. You can find a variety of flavors, including orange and peach. This drink is easy to make and fun. It can be served with a cucumber slice, lime wedge, cucumber or fresh fruit garnish.
Lemon Drops make a classic brunch cocktail. This drink can be made with simple syrup and fresh lemon juice. Serve it in martini glasses. You can also add flavor simple syrups to make it more vibrant.
The bellini is another favorite brunch cocktail. A bubbly drink similar to the mimosa, the bellini pairs well with brunch dishes. In addition to the Prosecco, you'll need peach nectar and peach juice. You should muddle the cucumber slices before straining the drink into your glasses. Add whipped cream and crushed peanuts to the top.
It's a simple brunch drink that you can make: a Southern-styled sangria. It's a sweeter alternative to the traditional red sangria. You can add fresh fruit to this refreshing drink.
For large groups, pitcher cocktails are great. There are many options for ingredients. You can make a cocktail with gin, tequila or vermouth. You have a variety of pitcher recipes that you can choose from so that everyone can enjoy your cocktail.
While you can't really go wrong with a mimosa (or any other type of cocktail), don't underestimate how powerful the bloody mariy. You'll love the boozy, zesty flavor of this delicious drink. To get the best flavor, mix the bloody mary the night before. You can make a wonderful brunch by serving it with a mimosa, or as a standalone drink.
Madras, another drink that is great for brunch parties, is also a good choice. The Madras is a mixed drink which combines vodka with fresh orange juice and cranberry syrup. To make it cold, add some ice.
Another brunch drink that's sure to please is the drunken mocha. The drunken mocha is a strong drink that can also be sweetened, just like the bloody Mary. Add whipped cream or chocolate sprinkles to make it festive.
Ice pops are a fun and unique way to enjoy brunch. Ice pops can be a fun way to add fruity flavor to your cocktail. Instead of pouring your liquid into a glass with a straw, you can place the pops inside a glass. This allows the liquid to infuse.
The best part about brunch cocktails is that you don't have to worry about a hangover. Light and fruity are the best brunch cocktails. These cocktails will allow you to celebrate your special occasion without being too drunk.

How To
How to Make the Best Brandy-Alexander Recipe
Finding the right ingredients is the first step to making a cocktail recipe. This drink will use Cognac, a French distilled spirit made of fermented grapes. It is clear in most cases, but it can sometimes be aged in oak barrels. You can find cognac at specialty liquor stores and online retailers like Amazon.com.
Next, we'll make simple syrup. Simple syrup is simply sugar that has been dissolved in water. We'll dissolve 1 cup of granulated white sugar into a small saucepan over medium heat. Stirring for 5 minutes until sugar is completely dissolved. You should add enough cold tap water to completely cover the sugar. Let stand overnight. Strain out the sugar crystals through cheesecloth and discard them. Store the remaining liquid in an airtight container in your refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
We will combine Cognac with simple syrup to make our Brandy Alexander Cocktail. Combine the Cognac with simple syrup in a shaker. Fill it half-way with ice cubes. Pour the Cognac into a shaker and top it with simple syrup. Stir vigorously for 10 second, then strain into a chilled martini. Top off the Brandy Alexander with a splash of soda water and garnish with a lemon twist.
