Mother's Day Cocktails

[beans]

This Sunday is Mother's Day, and what better way to celebrate than with a brunch? This year instead of treating Mom to long lines and short service at a restaurant, consider having brunch at home, where she can be spoiled properly. A cool brunch cocktail is a simple, refreshing accompaniment.

Gary Rizzo, owner and chef of Miss Millie's restaurant, a popular Noe Valley brunch spot, says he loves to play on traditional Mimosas and Kir Royales. Instead of just a sparkling wine and orange juice Mimosa, he also mixes sparkling wines with the juices of blood orange, passion fruit, white peach, pomegranate or huckleberry lemonade. He makes his Kir Royale with Bonny Doon Framboise, a fortified raspberry wine, instead of black currant liqueur.
