Refreshing and Unique Brunch Drink Ideas to Try at Home
Brunch is a perfect time to relax, catch up with family or friends, and of course, indulge in some delectable food and drinks. While we all love classic brunch beverages like mimosas and Bloody Marys, it can be fun to mix things up with some refreshing and unique drink ideas. Here are some of our favorites to try at home.
Lavender Lemonade
Lemonade is a refreshing drink on its own, but adding a hint of lavender can take it to the next level. To make lavender lemonade, simply steep dried lavender in hot water for a few minutes, then mix the strained lavender water with freshly squeezed lemon juice, sweetener of choice, and cold water. Serve over ice with a sprig of fresh lavender for a beautiful presentation.
Grapefruit and Rosemary Mimosa
Mimosas are a brunch classic, but why not give them a unique twist with grapefruit and rosemary? Simply mix freshly squeezed grapefruit juice with your favorite bubbly, and add a sprig of fresh rosemary for flavor and garnish.
Iced Matcha Latte
For a non-alcoholic option, try an iced matcha latte. This antioxidant-packed drink is not only delicious, but also provides a natural energy boost. Simply whisk matcha powder with hot water until smooth, add your choice of milk and sweetener, and pour over ice.
Spicy Michelada
If you're in the mood for something with a bit of a kick, a spicy Michelada might do the trick. This Mexican drink is made with beer, tomato juice, lime juice, hot sauce, and seasonings such as salt and pepper. Customize the level of spiciness to your taste, and garnish with a lime wedge and celery stalk.
Peach Bellini Iced Tea
For a refreshing and unique drink that's perfect for summer brunches, try a peach Bellini iced tea. Simply brew your favorite black or green tea, and mix with peach puree and sparkling wine or champagne. Serve over ice and garnish with a peach slice for a beautiful and tasty drink.
These are just a few ideas to get you started on creating unique and refreshing brunch drinks at home. Don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors and ingredients to find your own perfect brunch beverage.
