Both my mother and mother-in-law are not big drinkers. So imagine this roundup more for those of you who have a booze lovin’ mamma. Or spend an afternoon at the club making the boys fetch you drinks while you never get around to playing tennis.

Burnt Sage & Blackberry Sangria. One for you, one for mom. Or two for you.
Pitcher drinks mean all day drinking. Try this  Apple and Rosé Sangria with Sunday brunch.
Need something quick but fancy? Try this Sparkling Hibiscus Cocktail, takes but a second but super pretty to look at.
Sparkling Wine. Watermelon. Limoncello? What’s more impressive sounding than that? Whip up some Salty Melon Cocktails. They’ll be perfect with your edible fruit basket.
