Surprise mom with a relaxing cocktail on Mother’s Day
By Becky Ellis
Mother’s Day cocktails are a treat that any busy mom will appreciate on her special day – Sunday, May 9, 2021. Every other day she might be thought of as the crazed lady who drove you and your friends to soccer matches, helped you with your homework and put band-aides on your boo-boos. Today mom deserves some booze-booze and we celebrate her for the elegant lady she is.
Mom will be delighted by a cocktail that you make especially for her in mind – sweet and sparkling. Start her day with a MOM-osa and breakfast in bed. Make this morning drink even more special by making pear mimosas made with elderflower liqueur. A gentle floral cocktail to help her ease into her day. Find the recipe in Victoria Magazine.
Would your mom like a pretty pink bubbly cocktail on her special day? Prosecco Rosé is the perfect bubbly to add to your Mother’s Day cocktails. Your mom will be tickled pink that you are treating her to cocktails made with this special bubbly.
Did you know that Prosecco Rosé is practically brand new on the market? It was approved for sale by the Italian Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Forestry in May, 2020, according to Decanter.com. Before that date, the Italian sparkling rosé was just that – pink sparkling wine.
To make your Mother’s Day cocktails even prettier, garnish with edible flowers. Nasturtium blossoms, chamomile flowers and lavender are nice choices (just make sure they have not been sprayed with pesticides). Mom will be delighted that you added this extra special touch.
Enjoy these special Mother’s Day cocktail recipes compliments of Riondo Prosecco. Rionodo Prosecco Rosé is a shade of pale pink, a blend of Pinot Nero and Glera grapes. Fresh and creamy with fruity notes of raspberry, juicy peach and Golden Delicious apple. Mom will absolutely love this fruity pink bubbly.
