Brunch is a time to indulge, but it doesn't have to mean a huge brunch menu filled with heavy drinks. Brunch cocktails, on the other hand, are lighter and more fruity and can be enjoyed alongside 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 can be an essential brunch cocktail. These are great for days when you don’t feel like drinking a mimosa. There are many flavor options, including orange and strawberry. It's easy to make and lots of fun. It can be served with a cucumber slice, lime wedge, cucumber or fresh fruit garnish.
Lemon Drops are another classic brunch cocktail. This drink is made with a simple syrup and lemon juice. Serve it in martini glasses, with margarita-style sugar at the rim. You can also try adding flavored simple syrups for color.
The bellini is another popular brunch drink. The bellini, which is a cousin to the mimosa and a bubbly beverage that can be paired well with a brunch meal, is another popular brunch cocktail. In addition to the Prosecco, you'll need peach nectar and peach juice. After muddleing the cucumber slices, strain the drink into your glasses. Top with whipped cream and crushed pistachios.
An easy brunch cocktail is the Southern-ized sangria. It's a sweeter variation of traditional red sangria. Make a refreshing beverage by adding fresh fruit and a coconut infusion.
Pitcher cocktails are ideal for large groups. You can mix a variety of ingredients such as gin or tequila with vermouth, grapefruit soda, or a spicy cocktail. 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. This delicious drink is full of zesty, boozy flavor. Mix the bloody mary one night ahead to get the best flavor. It doesn't matter if you serve it with a mimosa.
Madras, another drink that is great for brunch parties, is also a good choice. It is a mixed cocktail that contains vodka, fresh orange juice, and freshly squeezed cranberry juice. Just be sure to add some ice for a nice cold drink.
The drunken mocha, another brunch favorite, is also a crowd pleaser. It's strong, sweet, and similar to the bloody mary. Add whipped cream or chocolate sprinkles to make it festive.
A ice pop can be a great alternative to traditional brunch cocktails. Ice pops add fruity flavor and variety to cocktails. Instead of pouring liquid into a glass you will place the pops inside the glass. This will allow the liquid's flavor to infuse the drink.
The best thing about brunch cocktails is not having to worry about a hangover. In fact, the best brunch cocktails are light and fruity. These cocktails will help you celebrate your special occasion without getting wasted.

How To
How to make the Best Brandy Alex Recipe
The first step in making any cocktail recipe is finding the right ingredients. Cognac is a French spirit made with fermented grapes. We will use it in this cocktail. Although it is usually clear, you might see oak barrels. Cognac is available at specialty liquor shops and online retailers like Amazon.com.
Next, we'll make simple syrup. Simple syrup is simply sugar that has been dissolved in water. Let's melt 1 cup of granulated sugar in a small saucepan on medium heat. Stirring for 5 minutes until sugar is completely dissolved. Add enough cold tap water to cover the sugar by 2 inches. Let it sit overnight. Strain the sugar crystals out of the cheesecloth and dispose them. Keep the liquid in a sealed container in your refrigerator for at least 3 weeks.
For our Brandy Alexander Cocktail, we're going to combine Cognac and simple syrup together. Add the Cognac to a shaker. Top it with half a cup of ice cubes. The rest of the mixture should be filled with simple syrup. For 10 seconds, shake vigorously. Strain into a chilled martini glasses. Mix in a splash soda water to finish the Brandy Alexander. Garnish with a twist of lemon.
