Mother's Day is almost here - time to celebrate the moms, soon-to-be moms, and mother figures who make life brighter. These four recipes range from effortless classics to drinks that look like you spent all morning behind the bar (you didn't). Grab your glassware and let's get started.
Classic Mimosa
The brunch staple that never misses. Two ingredients, zero mixology skills required.

- 1 cup fresh orange juice
- Orange slices for garnish
Instructions
- Chill your champagne glasses in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
- Pour orange juice into each glass until about halfway full.
- Top slowly with prosecco.
- Garnish with an orange slice and serve immediately.
Spiked Sparkling Raspberry Lemonade
A little more effort, a lot more wow factor. The layered berry-citrus flavor says I appreciate everything you do without a greeting card.
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 2 oz Farrell's Reserve Vodka
- ½ cup fresh lemon juice
- ½ cup simple syrup
- 1 bottle sparkling water or lemon-lime soda
- Ice cubes
- Lemon slices and whole raspberries for garnish
Instructions
- Blend the raspberries until smooth, then strain through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds.
- In a pitcher, stir together the raspberry puree, vodka, lemon juice, and simple syrup.
- Fill glasses with ice and pour the mixture over.
- Top with sparkling water or soda.
- Garnish with a lemon slice and a few raspberries. Serve chilled.
Sparkling Strawberry Lemonade (Mocktail)
For the mom-to-be or anyone skipping alcohol—this one's just as festive. Swap raspberries for strawberries and lose the vodka; keep all the sparkle.
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled
- ½ cup fresh lemon juice
- ½ cup simple syrup
- 1 bottle sparkling water or lemon-lime soda
- Ice cubes
- Strawberry slices and lemon twists for garnish

- Pour over ice-filled glasses.
- Top with sparkling water or soda.
- Garnish with a strawberry slice and a lemon twist.
Tropical Sunset Cocktail
Vacation vibes in a glass—no plane ticket needed. The grenadine sinks to create that signature sunset gradient.
Ingredients
- 2 oz Black Sword Rum
- 2 oz pineapple juice
- 1 oz orange juice
- ½ oz grenadine
- Pineapple slice and maraschino cherry for garnish
Instructions
- Fill a shaker with ice. Add the rum, pineapple juice, and orange juice; shake until chilled.
- Strain into an ice-filled glass.
- Slowly pour the grenadine over the back of a spoon so it settles at the bottom.
- Garnish with pineapple and a cherry.
However you're celebrating, these drinks are a small way to say thank you to the moms who show up every single day. Cheers—and happy Mother's Day!
