Best Brunch Cocktails

By Colleen Graham, About.com

Light drinks with fruity flavors make great additions to any brunch. Choosing a cocktail that matches the type of food being served is key to the mid-morning meal. A Screwdriver or Melon Patch are wonderful matches for a fresh fruit brunch while a Bloody Mary works well with heartier foods.

Jamaican Cobbler

For a meal that includes blueberry pancakes a Jamaican Cobbler is a wonderful fit. The coffee flavor of Tia Maria and garnish of fresh blueberries or raspberries are a great complement to a brunch that includes berries.

Mimosa

Another great Champagne cocktail that is a wonderful addition to any brunch. A Mimosa is the bubbly version of a Screwdriver and can work well with any food you choose to serve at brunch.

A muffin, a grapefruit and a Sea Breeze combine for a simple and quick brunch on short notice.

Fuzzy Navel

This simple mixed drink is light on the alcohol but heavy on the fruit, which makes it a prime candidate for any brunch. If your feeling a little wilder one morning, add vodka to the peach schnapps and orange juice for a Hairy Navel.

Abbey Cocktail

Gin and orange juice combine for this easy neat drink and the dash of orange bitters adds the right finishing touch.
