mother's day cocktails: big batch pink negronis

Mother’s Day (ahem, May 11, 2025) is your chance to show Mom how much she means to you. While I’m sure she’d never scoff at a glass of white wine with a few ice cubes (she’s polite like that), what says “thanks for everything you do” more than a top-notch adult beverage?Pull out all the stops with one of these 30 celebratory Mother’s Day cocktails.

They’re ideal for serving at brunch or dinner. Whether your mom is a tequila girl, fancies frosé or prefers a decked-out bloody Mary, she’s definitely going to love the bartender—and that’s you. My personal favorites range from spicy strawberry mojitos to an unconventional mimosa bar for a crowd.
