Can you even call it brunch without mimosas? Not in my book! Whether you’re serving classic mimosas or other brunch-friendly cocktails like Bellinis, French 75s or Bloody Marys, there’s something about a cocktail at breakfast that makes the meal feel extra special.

Notes:
To make serving even easier, in addition to making the blackberry puree in advance, combine the orange juice and blackberry puree on the day of the event and store it in the fridge until ready to serve. Don’t add the sparkling wine to the pitcher until you’re ready to serve or you’ll lose the effervescence.
If making blackberry mimosas ahead of time, make and store the blackberry puree for up to two days. Keep it in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to use.
