Now that you have made plans for Mother’s Day, how about kicking it all off with a special Mother’s Day cocktail, or ending the day with a nice, relaxing cocktail.
If you start your Mother’s Day in the morning, how about starting with a memorable treat: Breakfast in Bed. Next to the plate of Mom’s favorite breakfast – a glass of bubbly, flowery or even fruity. This tray would also work great for lunch, just exchange the French Toast for a lunch treat out on the patio. These light cocktails are perfect for sipping outside in the shade on a sunny afternoon or early evening as well.
Here are three simple recipes for Mom’s special day:
Champagne Dreams

Tulipe de Lis
This floral cocktail is a perfect complement to a vase of flowers on the breakfast or lunch tray.
