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. There are many brunch cocktails to choose form if you plan a brunch party. With a little inspiration, you'll be able to impress your guests with your creativity.
Bloody Marys should be a staple brunch drink. They're perfect for those days you don’t feel the need to have a mojito. There are many flavors to choose from, including peach and orange. This is an easy drink that's fun to make. Serve it with a lime wedge, cucumber, pineapple slice, or fresh fruit garnish.
Lemon Drops make a classic brunch cocktail. The simple syrup and lemon juice are the ingredients for this drink. Serve it in martini glasses with margarita-style sugar on the rim. You can also try adding flavored simple syrups for color.
The bellini, another popular brunch cocktail, is also very popular. A cousin of the mimosa, bellini is a bubbly drink that pairs nicely with a brunch menu. Peach nectar and peach juice are also required. Be sure to muddle the cucumber slices, then strain the drink into your glasses. Top with whipped cream and crushed pistachios.
An easy brunch drink to make is a Southern-style sangria. It's a sweeter version of the traditional red sangria. You can add fresh fruit to this refreshing drink.
These cocktails are perfect for large groups. There are many ingredients you can use, including gin and tequila, vermouth and grapefruit soda. There are many pitcher options to choose from to make a cocktail that everyone enjoys.
While you can't go wrong with a mimosa, don't underestimate the power of the bloody mary. This refreshing drink will delight you with its boozy, citrusy flavors. Mix the bloody mary one night ahead to get the best flavor. This will make for a great brunch, whether you are serving it as a cocktail or as a single drink.
Madras, another drink that is great for brunch parties, is also a good choice. The Madras is a mix drink that includes vodka, cranberry and fresh orange juice. Just be sure to add some ice for a nice cold drink.
The drunken mocha is another brunch drink that will please. The drunken mocha is a strong drink that can also be sweetened, just like the bloody Mary. Add whipped cream or chocolate sprinkles to make it festive.
Ice pops are a fun and unique way to enjoy brunch. Ice pops can be a fun way to add fruity flavor to your cocktail. Instead of pouring the liquid in a glass, prop the pops up inside the glass and allow the liquid to infuse.
The best thing about brunch cocktails? You don't have any hangovers. In fact, the best brunch cocktails are light and fruity. These cocktails will help you celebrate your special occasion without getting wasted.

What are good mixed drinks to order at a bar?
An Old Fashioned is a drink I recommend. It is a classic cocktail that includes bourbon whiskey with sugar syrup, bitters and water.
This name derives from the fact that the original recipe was made without ice. Original recipe used whiskey, sugar, bitters, and other ingredients.
When people began adding ice to the mix they added "Old-Fashioned," to the title as they believed the old-fashioned version tasted best.
You could also try a Manhattan. This is another great option. It is basically an Old Fashioned variation. Instead of using Bourbon, you can use Rye Whiskey. And instead of using sugar, you use sweet vermouth.
Because it's simple to prepare, this is a favorite choice of bartenders.
