Brunch is a time when you can indulge. But, it doesn’t have to be an extravagant brunch menu. 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 are perfect for those days when you don’t feel like sipping a mimosa. You can find a variety of flavors, including orange and peach. This drink is easy to make and fun. It can be served with a cucumber slice, lime wedge, cucumber or fresh fruit garnish.
Lemon Drops are another popular brunch drink. This drink is made with a simple syrup and lemon juice. It can be served in martini glasses. You can also make the color more vivid by adding flavorful simple syrups.
The bellini, another popular brunch cocktail, is also very popular. The bellini, a cousin to the mimosa is a bubbly drink that goes well with brunch. You will also need to make peach nectar, peach juice and Prosecco. After muddleing the cucumber slices, strain the drink into your glasses. Serve with whipped cream, crushed pistachios and a garnish of whipped cream.
A Southern-styled sangria makes a great brunch cocktail. It's a sweeter variation of traditional red sangria. You can add fresh fruit to this refreshing drink.
For large groups, pitcher cocktails are great. There are many ingredients you can use, including gin and tequila, vermouth and grapefruit soda. There are a number of pitcher recipes to choose from, so you'll be able to create a cocktail that everyone can enjoy.
While you can't go wrong with a mimosa, don't underestimate the power of the bloody mary. This drink has a boozy, zesty taste that you will love. To get the best flavor, mix the bloody mary the night before. This will make for a great brunch, whether you are serving it as a cocktail or as a single drink.
Madras is another cocktail that's great for brunch parties. The Madras is a mixed drink which combines vodka with fresh orange juice and cranberry syrup. Just be sure to add some ice for a nice cold drink.
The drunken mocha, another brunch favorite, is also a crowd pleaser. The drunken mocha is a strong drink that can also be sweetened, just like the bloody Mary. For a festive twist, add whipped cream, chocolate sprinkles, or even a chocolate shard on top.
A ice pop can be a great alternative to traditional brunch cocktails. Ice pops add fruity flavor and variety to cocktails. Rather than pouring the liquid into a glass, you'll prop up the pops inside the glass, allowing the liquid to infuse the drink.
Brunch cocktails are great because you don't need to worry about getting over a hangover. Light and fruity brunch cocktails are actually the best. These cocktails will help celebrate your special occasion with minimal effort.

You can, but you should be careful. Make sure you label all your bottles to let others know which ones have been frozen. You should not fill your bottles beyond half of their capacity.

What are some great mixed drinks that you can order at the bar?
An Old Fashioned is a drink I recommend. This is a classic cocktail made with bourbon whiskey.
This name derives from the fact that the original recipe was made without ice. Original recipe used whiskey, sugar, bitters, and other ingredients.
Because they liked the taste of the old-fashioned version, people added ice to their mix.
You might also consider a Manhattan. Another great option. It is basically a variation of the Old Fashioned. Instead of using bourbon you use rye whisky. And instead of using sugar, you use sweet vermouth.
Because it is easy to prepare and delicious, this is a popular choice for bartenders.
