Mother’s Day may very well be the mother of all brunch holidays (pun intended). Typically brunch cocktails are Mimosas and Bloody Mary’s. But if you’re celebrating your mother, a mother, or you yourself are a mother – typical just won’t do for this special day.
Try pairing with Strawberry French Toast
The beauty of the Rainbow Spritzer:
- The colors are gorgeous!
- It’s totally customizable to your tastes. Ideas for fruits are: red and/or green grapes, cherries, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, kiwis, oranges and pineapple.
- You can keep refilling your glass with wine and sparkling water, just leave the fruit to help flavor your next pour.
- If you prefer, use Champagne instead of a white wine spritzer.
- To make it kid-friendly, simply omit the wine.
- Once you’re done with your drink, you can eat all of that wonderful macerated fruit! So it’s really a fruit cocktail, cocktail.

Hi Cheyanne! Thanks so much! One of my favorite aspects about this drink is, how could you not smile when this is presented – just gotta love all of those colors 🙂
This is my kind of drink Kathleen! Loads with fruit, love it! Pinned!
Thanks, Mira! It makes drinking feel a little more nutritious 😛
Bright and colourful and healthy. It has it all going on and it is kid friendly! Pinning away!
Thanks so much! Kids would certainly love this drink too, sans the wine of course 😉 The nice part is, even if it’s just sparkling water, it becomes wonderfully flavored by all of the fruit.
I love love LOVE this Kathleen!! It IS a rainbow in a glass – this would cheer anyone up! PS Love that you just assume this is for BRUNCH. 🙂
Ha! I make no assumptions when it comes to drinking 😉
This is so fun Kathleen! I love the colors and love the fruit cocktail cocktail. Very clever!
I think the rainbow colors help to brighten your day… and the wine doesn’t hurt 😉
Oohh Kathleen, I’m in love with this! What a fun, creative idea. I can’t imagine a single guest not liking this. I bet it tastes amazing with all that fruit packed into it and then … as you say, you can spoon up that alcohol-stuffed fruit! Ooh yum … yummed & Pinterest-ed!
Thanks, Helen! I’m a gal who likes her wine, but I must say eating the wine-soaked fruit was my favorite part 🙂
Wow.. Amazing… Sun is blazing hot here.. This looks like the perfect recipe right now to eat.. Thanks for sharing
Hi, Fareeha! Thanks so much! I hope this drink brings some relief to your hot day – at least with a little wine, perhaps you won’t notice the heat so much 😉
So many flavors in this spritzer and just gorgeous!
Thanks, Marissa 🙂
What a fun and happy drink I think would be perfect for any brunch and make any mother happy and the fruit means it’s good for you, right? 🙂
Of course… all that fruit, it MUST be good for you! That just means more wine, right? 😉
This is a really great idea. And it’s made even better by the fact that the fruit will only get better, the more wine you drink… 🙂
Ha, yes! That certainly gives you more incentive to pour another glass… or two, huh? 😉
