As Mother’s Day approaches, we’re reminded of the essential role mothers play in our lives. It’s a time to celebrate the beauty of motherhood and all the joy it brings. However, you don’t have to be a mother to be celebrated. We believe in honoring all women who have played a meaningful role in nurturing and raising children. So, on this special day, we celebrate not only our mothers but mother figures who have made a positive impact on our lives. We thank them for their hard work, love, care, and devotion. They are the heart of the family and truly deserve a day all to themselves. For her special day, why not treat her to a lovely brunch at home, make her a Mother’s Day cake, or treat her to a care package of mom essentials? Here are a few ideas we put together to help make her Mother’s Day extra special.
Mimosas for Mom
Treat mom to mimosas. They are so refreshing, and you can literally make them from any flavor of juice along with your favorite champagne. For the best mimosas, opt for a dry, balanced sparkling wine rather than the most expensive Champagne. While you can use Champagne, Prosecco is an excellent choice for mimosas due to its fruit-forward flavors. Try our Pink Mimosa recipe for a fresh start to her day.
Pink Mimosa
Ingredients
- Stater Bros. Raspberry Lemonade
- LaMarca Prosecco
- Raspberries
Directions
Add a few raspberries to the bottom of a champagne flute. Fill halfway with raspberry lemonade. Top with prosecco and enjoy your favorite brunch foods.
