Blood Orange Champagne Cocktails - Cheers!
The Occasion: Mothers Day brunch, hello! Or any old brunch, for that matter. If it’s pink and in a flute, bring it on! Even better than the pinkness is the zesty punch this princess packs. It’s the gin, you see, and maybe a few extra antioxidants from the blood oranges. 
Why This Works: Similar to a Mimosa, an accepted form of day drinking beloved by brunch fans everywhere, this baby brings a few surprises to the table starting with the beautiful deep color.

The Verdict: Most quaffable, and very likely to put a smile on your face.

​It’s just fruity and sweet enough to pass for a moderately healthy juice drink, and then the gin flavor comes along to remind you that it’s an adult beverage after all.

Finally the sparkling wine bubbles kisses your nose and says what a great hair day you’re having.

Now that’s a cocktail I’m ready to get to know better!
