It's Friday afternoon, and I keep daydreaming about cocktails. Not such a strange occurrence, I assure you! But perhaps it's the rain and the sudden chill in the air that has me already looking forward to my Sunday brunch drink. I love the warm kitchen, the smell of onions and frying potatoes and eggs and toast ... but most of all, I love kicking back with a good brunch cocktail.
In the spring and summer, I gravitate towards light, fizzy cooling drinks. Think pomegranate juice and Prosecco, mimosas, or a Bellini. But come fall I want the hearty heat of a spicy Bloody Mary. The thick vegetable juice, the celery stick, the tangy pepperoncini - it's practically a meal in a glass!
