Are you looking to treat your mum with an amazing cocktail this Mother’s Day? If so look no further. I have listed the top three Mother’s Day Cocktail Recipes to make for your mum or for yourself.
First up though, what’s the secret to a good cocktail? The secret to an amazing cocktail is the right balance of flavours and textures, with a touch of sweetness.
The first step is to choose your base spirit. This will be the backbone of your drink and will determine what other flavours you can add. Some common spirits are vodka, whiskey, gin, tequila, rum, brandy or cognac. But you can use champagne, prosecco or cava if you’re looking for a cocktail with some fizz.
Next, you need to choose a mixer or modifier. These can be anything from soda water and lemon juice (for a gin and tonic) to orange juice or pineapple juice (for a mojito). Or try a mixer from Fentimans. They sent me some samples to try and their drinks are crafted using the finest botanicals to ensure each flavour is the perfect partner for your spirit.
So here are my top three Mother’s Day Cocktail Recipes.
