Brunch is more than just a meal; it’s a social event. And what’s a better way to elevate your Sunday Funday than by sipping on some creative and delicious cocktails? Whip out your cocktail shaker, because we’re about to dive into some mixology tips and recipes for a memorable brunch experience.

Mixology Tips

• Choose the right glassware: The presentation of a cocktail matters just as much as the taste. Make sure to choose the right glassware for your cocktail, whether it’s a tall glass, a mug or a champagne flute.
• Invest in quality ingredients and garnishes: A great cocktail depends on the quality of ingredients used. Use fresh fruits, quality spirits and sweeteners to make your brunch cocktails stand out. Additionally, garnishes such as herbs, citrus twists and edible flowers add both flavor and aesthetic appeal.
• Create a balanced flavor profile: The key to creating a delicious cocktail is balancing the sweet, sour and bitter flavors. Sour mixers, such as lemon or lime juice, add a tangy component while sweetening agents like simple syrup balance out the bitterness of some spirits.
