Currently, I’m dreaming of spring. I’m imagining a spring brunch with all my favorite people sitting around a backyard picnic table and drinking a refreshing fruity cocktail. 

Doesn’t that sound divine?

While it’s still the middle of winter, I’m already starting to plan my gatherings. It’s nice to have something to look forward to!

I Love to Host

Hosting is one of my favorite things to do. We love getting together with all our friends and family for a good meal and, of course, a delicious cocktail! 

As a serial hostess, I’ve learned that when you host guests at your home, it’s best to serve easy-to-make dishes. The last thing you want to do when you’re hosting is to be stuck in the kitchen creating an elaborate meal or trying to fix complicated drinks.

These super simple recipes are filled with springtime fruits and other seasonal flavors that will delight your taste buds. And don’t feel like you have to wait for spring to try these– in fact, better to try them all now, so you know exactly how delicious they are. You know, to be a better host, of course. 

Mezcal Aperol Spritz

A twist on a classic Aperol Spritz, this drink is an excellent transition from winter to spring. Aperol is a sweet, bitter orange flavor that tastes exactly like sunshine, while Mezcal has a smokey, almost firelike quality to it. Plus, the color of these ingredients looks like a blooming flower.

1. Muddle chopped strawberries in a copper mug

Watermelon Paloma

1. In a cocktail shaker, add watermelon syrup, grapefruit juice, and mezcal. Shake well.

2. Round the mouth of a glass with lime, and dip in Tajin.

3. Add ice to the glass.

4. Pour the cocktail into the glass and top off with soda water.

5. Garnish with a lime wheel.

6. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

• 1.5 oz. Torani watermelon syrup

• 1 oz. Grapefruit juice

Pomegranate Peach Lemon Drop

If you love lemon drops, you’ve got to try this variation. Pomegranate is both sweet and tart, mimicking the peach flavor's sweetness and the lemon juice's tartness for a burst of fruity flavor. If you want to impress your friends, try serving these in chilled martini glasses with a sugar-coated rim. 

Make It

Instructions:

1. In a cocktail shaker, add peach syrup, pomegranate juice, vodka, lemon juice, and ice. Shake well.

2. Pour into glass.

3. Garnish with a lemon wheel.

4. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

• 1 oz. Torani peach syrup

• 1 oz. Pomegranate juice

• 2 oz. Vodka

• 1 oz. Fresh lemon juice

• Ice

Pomegranate Amarena Spritz

Unlike their cousin, the maraschino cherry, the Amarena variety of cherry is dark and crisp, with a complexly sweet then sour flavor. The cherries would be the perfect accompaniment to traditional breakfast foods, so if you’re planning a brunch, consider making a large batch of this to serve your guests.

Make It

Instructions:

1. In a wine glass or champagne flute, add ice, pomegranate juice, and Amarena syrup.

2. Add prosecco. Top with soda water.

3. Garnish with a lemon wheel and Amarena Cherries.

4. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

• 1 oz. Pomegranate juice

• 4 oz. Amarena syrup

• 180 ml prosecco
