Brunch cocktail ideas please

[lilolilmanchester]

something to make a change from Bucks Fizz/Kir Royale (and not Bloody Mary) for a celebration brunch. Any new ideas please?

so it'll be bucks fizz or kir royale then!

No! How about Bellinis? Fresh peaches, pureed with a bit of sugar and a squeeze of lemon and then topped up with prosecco. DELICIOUS.
And you can do a variation with strawberries that is lovely too.

I must add that a decent bloody mary is one of the best drinks in the world and I LOVE seeing them at a brunch party. Any reason why you don't want them there?

bellinis - yum

i find a martini at lunch time is very agreeable

also, and not sure if this not cocktaily enough, but a tall glass of Pimms is very nice IMO

Oh yes a good bloody mary is always fab.

But keep the ice and spice seperate, some like them iced some don't.

i have to also confess a fondness for bloody marys

with a stick of celery stuck in the glass too

Oh yes Pimms is a good idea as it is relatively light.

harvey wallbanger - orange juice based so also good for brunch

Elderflower cordial with vodka and prossecco is nice.

great ideas. The person I'm organising this for doesn't like bloody mary's so would seem a bit selfish to serve something she doesn't like! It's more breakfast time than lunch time so like the idea of something fruity and light.

oops, forgot to say thank you.... rude woman

I have never met anyone who didn't love bellinis.

I always thought bellinnis were the tiny pancakes with crap on them?

They are blinis, also good for brunch

a Bellini and Blini brunch... has a bit of a ring to it!!

May slightly depend on what you are planning to serve with the drinks though;

Pimms - good as above - put in lots of fruit though (strawberies and blueberries work well) - plus of course the mint!!

Pomme Pomme - apple juice & apple schnaps (get some from Lidl)

Fragonard - strawberry version of bellini - strawberries, prosseco (lidl) and if you have it creme de fraise (Super U - france)

Sangria - alternative to Pimms

Non-alcholic - ginger beer / fresh lemonade as examples

enjoy!!

Cosmos! You'll be pissed after one if they're good, but they're bloody good when they are, iyswim .
