Let’s be honest—Mother’s Day is less about breakfast in bed and more about pretending that burnt toast is adorable while secretly Googling “nearest day spa with a bar.”
So this year, let’s skip the Pinterest fails and go straight to what Mum really wants: peace, quiet, and a cocktail that doesn’t involve her blending frozen bananas for your wellness journey.
🍸 Cocktail of the Day: The “Mum-osa Spritz”
(Like a mimosa, but with less judgment and more bubbles.)
This sparkling beauty is refreshing, delicious, and classy enough to post on Instagram with the caption “#blessed” while still strong enough to take the edge off that glitter-infested Mother’s Day card.
Ingredients:
- 60ml Prosecco (or whatever’s in the fridge that fizzes and feels fancy)
- 30ml elderflower liqueur (the kind you bought once to feel sophisticated)
- A splash of orange juice (bonus points if it’s not from concentrate)
- A splash of soda water (hydration = self-care)
- Fresh strawberries and mint (for the vibe, obviously
How to make it:
- Dump a bunch of ice in the biggest glass you can find—preferably one that says “Don’t talk to me until this is empty.”
- Add elderflower liqueur and a splash of OJ like you’re measuring but actually just eyeballing it.
- Top with Prosecco and soda water.
- Garnish with whatever fruit hasn’t been claimed by your child for “lunchbox snacks.”
- Sit somewhere quiet. Hide if you must. Sip slowly and ignore everyone for at least 15 minutes.
This Mother’s Day, give Mum the gift she truly craves: a moment of silence, a drink in hand, and a firm promise that no one will ask her where their socks are for at least an hour.
Raise a glass to the woman who’s held it all together with caffeine, sarcasm, and WiFi passwords. She deserves this.
Cheers, Mum—you absolute legend. 🥂
