Brunch cocktails are the mischievous wink of the late morning - the sassy reminder that it’s totally acceptable to sip something stronger than orange juice before noon.
Who needs coffee when you can have your caffeine spiked with vodka in an Espresso Martini? That’s not indulgence, that’s multitasking.
Mimosas are the bubbly besties of the brunch table - light, bright and just a little too easy to keep topping up. Bellinis? They’re the flirty cousins, all peachy sweetness with a giggle on the side.
Then there’s the Bloody Mary: bold, brash and dressed like it’s heading to a costume party - celery stalks waving, olives skewered, bacon lounging across the rim like it owns the place.
These cocktails aren’t just drinks; they’re an excuse to stretch brunch into a lifestyle choice. One sip and suddenly toast feels like a celebration, eggs become art and gossip tastes even juicier.
Brunch cocktails don’t care about your Monday responsibilities - they’re here to remind you that life is meant to be sipped, savoured and shared, preferably with a side of bottomless refills.
