Easter brunch beverage

What is your favorite beverage for a causal relaxing weekend brunch?  I enjoy a mimosa, but it would seem that I’m not the only one who occasionally indulgences in the day time beverage.  Data from Google trends shows that search interest in brunch has been rising since 2004.  Those spikes in interest correspond to Easter and Mother’s Day-two days that are evidently synonymous with brunch, with mimosa leading the way as the favorite.

I personally like having brunch at home as I find it overpriced at restaurants, plus I love the causal vibe it creates.  AND its so easy to set up. 

What you will need
-Your finest Orange Juice
-Your favorite Prosecco

1.     Find a place where your guests can easily help themselves.  The last thing you need or want are your guests coming in the kitchen interrupting you while you are busy preparing.
2.    Set the Prosecco in a wine bucket filled with ice
3.    Place Orange juice on a tray along with plenty of glasses.

For guests who prefer a mocktail, how about an Orange juice, mineral water spritzer with elderflower syrup—2 parts Orange Juice—1 part fizzy water—a splash of elderflower syrup.

What better way to welcome your guests and wish them a Happy Easter- than with a bubbly glass of happiness.

Half Time Entertainment-Family Style

Super Bowl Inspiration-

Half time is here, get your family up and over to your tablescapes and have some fun. 

I am not a beer drinker, but guess what?  Beer (well not in the traditional sense) was my inspiration for this easy and fun interactive family friendly tablescape.  Create your own Root Beer Float Station. Yum Yum.

The Set Up
I bought this green floor runner from party city  for $8.99, along with these tiny soft footballs.  

I found 2 burlap table runners and placed them on either end of the green runner.  I then placed these yellow goal posts on either end. Now the field is set for the game!  

The Food-Make it yourself-Root Beer Float Station-

Playing on the theme of the beer tent, I thought I would set up Haagen Dazs ice cream, A & W root beer, and frosted mugs, or frosted mason jars for the best results.

Finally-the best for last-My Giant Beergarita.
So it’s my birthday, and I thought why not make myself the ultimate beer drink and share with my love.
The main ingredient Corona beer
 

Limeade concentrate, and tequila, and crushed ice. I’d recommend a good tequila like an anejo or reposada. Your can go with a Patron or more recently I have been using Casamigos.

Take two cups of limeade, 3 ounces of tequila and 1 bottle of Corona. Be sure to apply a healthy coating of ungranulated raw sugar to the rim after running a lime wedge along it. Garnish with lime wedges and add a couple straws. Or if it has been one of those days just endulge yourself. After all my husband is a liver transplant surgeon.

That’s all folks.  An easy and most of all fun half time entertainment table that will have your family talking several days after.  Gather, Connect and Make Memories.
