so many great ideas and the pictures are so lovely! Thanks for featuring my Bungled Negroni 🙂
I love the glass for that, Renana — where did you find it?
Ooh, such a wonderful collection of cocktails! I especially love the color of that blackberry lemon mint julep. Definitely the perfect way to celebrate!
What a gorgeous round up, Lisa! And was a fabulous idea for a round up to begin with. Brunch cocktails shouldn’t stop at Bloody Mary’s and Mimosas. I mean, I love them both, but after going through this post I’m really feeling like I need to host brunch and make one of these beauties. Thanks so much for including my spiked hibiscus iced tea 🙂
A socially acceptable excuse for day drinking – LOVE IT! I pinned this collection because I’ve got to try at least a few of these cocktails. Terrific round-up!
I really need to start serving cocktails at brunch again! These recipes look delicious… thank you so much for the inspiration. I can not wait to try a few!
I love a brunch cocktail — and a nap afterwards…
So many gorgeous cocktails…so little time! Gosh Lisa, I don’t know where to start with this gorgeous lineup. And what a great idea to round these up, just in time for Easter planning. Thanks for the inspiration!
Well isn’t this a GREAT collection of drinks. I love the the Island Bunny. For sure my guests would be totally impressed if I served any of these. Chances are…brunch will turn into dinner. They won’t want to leave.
That’s always a risk, isn’t it, Gloria?
Not only are all of these cocktails gorgeous, they all sound so amazing, it’s hard to choose which to make first. I just hosted a Spring brunch and mimosas “get together” at my house this past weekend and my girlfriends and I had a wonderful time. I think I should do it monthly and I’ll start by picking a cocktail from this wonderful round up! Thanks Lisa!
I’ll have one of each please!! They all look so pretty and just how I’d like to be brunching.
