Let’s not pretend that mom doesn’t like to have a drink every now and then, and for some of us maybe that’s an understatement. You can go anywhere on the web and get literally hundreds of gift ideas to make your mom feel special this Mother’s Day, but we’ve put together a list of drinks that she’ll really be thankful for. I’ll be honest some are one’s we’ve tried and LOVE, and others are suggestions from brands we work with that sound delicious. You can be the ultimate judge and decide what works best for you. If you tried these and just didn’t think any of them fit what you were looking for, check out these Mother’s Day Cocktails we’ve tried in the past: Bloody Mary’s for Mom and Margaritas for Mom.
