Springspiration: Brunch-worthy Cocktails

Weekend get-togethers call for classics with a twist

Come springtime, it’s hard to think of a phrase more welcome than, “Let’s do brunch!” When raising a toast to the weekend, you’ll need a glass of something special in hand. Whether substantial and savoury or bubbly and sweet, cocktails aren’t just the preview to brunch; they’re the main event. We’ve got all the inspiration you’ll need, with inventive spins to put a smile on your guests’ faces. The Bloody Mary gets a makeover with a mini-salad garnish—talk about a fun way to up your daily veg quotient. Keep prep simple with a make-ahead pitcher of Rosemary Meyer Lemon Spritzer, or dazzle with martini-style cocktails that get lightened and lengthened with grapefruit and soda. Of course, any of these delicious drinks shine when served with a go-to brunch recipe from Food & Drink.
