Breakfast & brunch cocktails

What are some popular brunch cocktails?

Popular brunch cocktails are typically light, refreshing-tasting and easy to sip alongside delicious morning dishes. Among the best breakfast cocktails are the classic Mimosa—a simple blend of champagne and orange juice—and the zesty Bloody Mary, known for its savory kick. Other favorites like Bellinis, Spritzes, and French 75s bring elegance and flavor to any brunch spread.

Elevate your mimosa game

Creating a classic breakfast mimosa is easy, simply fill half of a champagne flute with chilled champagne or sparkling wine, then top off with freshly squeezed orange juice. For an extra touch of flair elevate the classic mimosa by introducing a spirited twist with tequila.

A tequila mimosa blends the traditional elements of champagne and orange juice with the vibrant kick of tequila, creating a refreshing-tasting and bold brunch cocktail. This innovative variation maintains the bubbly effervescence you love while adding depth and complexity to every sip.

What are some tequila-based cocktails for brunch?

Tequila-based cocktails for breakfast offer bold flavors that complement hearty dishes beautifully. Consider serving tequila mimosas—made by combining tequila with traditional mimosa ingredients or updating them with different juices like grapefruit or lime—or try a Tequila Sunrise with orange juice and grenadine.

You can also opt for fruity and bright margaritas like our Frosé Margarita. These brunch drinks with tequila provide exciting alternatives to classic options.

Can you use other juices in a mimosa besides orange?

Absolutely! While orange juice is traditional in mimosas, experimenting with different juices offers exciting mimosa variations. Try using pineapple juice for tropical flair or cranberry juice for tartness that pairs well with sweet pastries. The possibilities are endless when customizing your breakfast mimosas! Try this peach and whiskey mimosa for a sweet and smooth alternative to the classic mimosa.

What is the best way to serve tequila at brunch?
