Toast Mom with these fantastic sparkling drinks
May 03, 2009
I can't speak for every Mom. I'm not omniscient, after all, but I can speak with authority about what this Mom likes - and that's breakfast in bed with a nice sparkling drink.
This Mother's Day, you might want to treat your Mom to breakfast in bed. Or a special brunch prepared for yours truly.
Here's what I'd like to see on my menu:
Crepes with fresh fruit and whipped heavy cream
Loads of hot, robust coffee
A fabulous sparkling drink (alcohol optional)
For traditionalists, we have the Kir Royale (champagne with Crème de cassis) or Mimosas (champagne with orange juice).
Want something a little less ordinary? Try a Champagne and Pear Brandy Cocktail or a Lemongrass Champagn Mojito.
Too early in the day to think about a buzz, mix your favorite juices with selzer over crushed ice. Try pomegranate, cherry, and pear for a fresh start to a fabulous day!
