Need libation inspiration for your brunch menu? Here’s 14 Brunch Cocktails for Easter (or any special occasion) that are sure to entice! These zippy drinks span from sweet to savory, “bubbles” to “flat” and “light” to “comatose”.  Pick your poison!

 

Who among us isn’t happy to ease into a tasty brunch with a sparkly, juicy or just downright tipsy blend of liquors? Whether you prefer fruit forward quenchers or more savory tipples for your a.m. sipper, this collection has something for everyone… except the tee-totalers…but that’s what orange juice is for.  14 Brunch Cocktails for Easter — your guests will love them.

 

The pastel hue of this Rhubarb Pisco Sour by My Kitchen Love echoes the soft colors of Spring.

With a hint of herbal lavender syrup and lemon and superior Hendrick’s gin this Lavender Bees Knees cocktail via The GastroNom is a sophisticated sipper for Easter.

This icy Blackberry Lemon Mint Julep from Striped Spatula with plenty of mint and bourbon will definitely be a hit at your Easter celebration.

This Bloody Mary with Italian-Style Garnish from Girl Gone Gourmet is a drink and appetizer in one!

Looking for a twist on a regular mimosa?  This Gin and Blood Orange Mimosa from The Flavor Bender is a vibrant, kickier libation that’ll go great with a slice of coffeecake!

Ruby Thyme Spritzers with a honey-thyme simple syrup is a light, bubbly drink that’s perfect for brunching. Via Garlic & Zest.

Have you ever had a Bungled Negroni? With sweet vermouth, Campari and sparkling red wine, this dazzling libation from Renana’s Kitchen is celebration-worthy!

Spiked Hibiscus Iced Tea with blueberry infused vodka (HELLO!) is a delightful departure from the standard — and look at that gorgeous color from the hibiscus tea… Thanks to Killing Thyme for sharing her recipe.

My Coffee Buzz Martini goes down WAY TOO EASILY, but they’re so GOOD! Recipe from Garlic & Zest.

Blackberry Ginger Bellini.  Need I say more?  With a soft pink hue the blackberry ginger simple syrup takes this beyond a typical bellini.  Recipe courtesy of Platings + Pairings.

Elderflower Blood Orange Mimosas are bolder than their delicate name suggests.  With silver tequila, elderflower liqueur and sparkling wine from Such The Spot you’ll want to toast  again and again!

With fresh cantaloupe juice, triple sec and a shot of vodka, this brunchy libation has a little hair of the dog… Absolut Melon Baller via Garlic & Zest.

Frozen rosé a.k.a. frosé is like a wine slushy and this tasty blend includes a luscious strawberry simple syrup from Basil + Bubbly!

From Mid Life Croissant, The Island Bunny, A Bom Bom Easter Cocktail is like Easter candy in cocktail form starring Bom Bom Nilli Vanilli, egg white and unsweetened cocoa powder. It’ll have you hippety-hoppety-ing all the way down the bunny trail.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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 🙂
