Morning Libations
Morning isn't just for coffee, especially if you're hosting a brunch for friends. And this doesn't mean that you have to stick with what to me is the most obvious choice for a morning cocktail: the Bloody Mary. Not that it's bad! In fact I'll be giving you a suggestion on it a bit later, but you can be a little bold and offer your guests a different kind of breakfast drink!
"Citrus" is a cocktail that features Cointreau, the liquor that complements the best-made margaritas. For a light refreshing drink, mix 2oz Cointreau, 3oz pink grapefruit juice and 1oz lime juice. Pour over ice in a tall class and serve! Go to www.cointreau.com for more mixology ideas!
Now for the Bloody Mary, or as the folks at Prairie vodka like to call it, the Prairie Mary. Take two parts Prairie vodka, a half cup of tomato juice, squeeze a little lemon, then add Worcestershire and hot sauce to taste! For more ideas, go to www.prairievodka.com.
Cheers to starting your day off right!
