25 Best Mother's Day Cocktails and Drink Ideas
Let's say cheers to moms everywhere!

Heads up! Mother's day is coming up, as it tends to do, and you want to make sure the day doesn't go by without celebrating your favorite maternal people. A homemade gift is always nice, and of course that could mean a spectacular brunch or even a nice homemade dinner.
But you know what will make your favorite mom feel even more special? A just-for-her, wildly inventive, hand-made spring cocktail. If Mom is into mixed drinks, then go the extra mile and break out your cocktail shaker.
Shake something up, put it in a fancy glass, and garnish it with some edible flowers, or something else beautiful and delicate. And say thanks for raising you—after all, mom raised you to be polite.
The Sunflower Cocktail
Mix up this bright, light treat (featuring fresh sunflower petals to garnish!) for your sunniest mother.
Golden Gobbler Cocktail Punch
Think of this as mom's new favorite sweet tea—just adulted up with ginger beer, and bourbon.
Spring Gin Flip
If mom loves a classic cocktail with a twist, this is it. The chamomile-infused simple syrup is easy to make, and absolutely delicious.
Cucumber and Mint Lemonade with Tequila
Our mom loves fancy lemonade, and she loves margaritas. This surprisingly good drink is a great way to give her elements of both.
Mint Tulip Cocktail
This citrus-packed vodka-based drink is best served in (mom's favorite) floral-adorned glasses, of course!
Fish House Punch
Careful, this sweet tea cocktail packs quite a kick!
Bourbon Derby Punch
You don't have to stop celebrating Derby Day, just because it's Mother's Day! This drink is delicious all month long.

Pink Grapefruit Margaritas
Is there ever a bad time for margaritas? (No. No, there is not.)
Blueberry Mint Cocktail
To give this bright sipper even more flavor, use wild blueberries, which can be found in the frozen section.
Daisy Buchanan Cocktail
Named after F. Scott Fitzgerald's golden girl, this elegant picnic drink is equally at home on picnics or at lavish parties.

This sweetly refreshing berry punch is kid-friendly, from the star-shaped fruit, to the non-alcoholic base. But you can adult it up for mom with a little rum or vodka.
Mint Julep
If mom is a derby girl, there's only one drink to be had. And let's be honest, the flavor of mint and bourbon is classic, and makes a great drink.

What says "Mother's Day Bruch" better than mimosas? Homemade fruit juice—from pureed raspberries and peaches—marks this as something a little more special than your typical OJ and bubbly.
