Your mom deserves all your love and gratitude. But this Mother’s Day—you should give her more than just a card and some flowers. She deserves to indulge with a homemade Mother’s Day cocktail. Made specifically by your hands. Why?
Mom’s earned a cocktail because:
1: Labor lasts an average of 8-18 hours. Ouch. She went through that!
2: Your college education could have paid for 33 Caribbean cruises and a half a dozen European vacations.
3: Your braces could have paid for 100 manicures.
Motherhood is stressful, but it’s still a joy worth celebrating. And so are moms. Pick up some ingredients from Spec’s and celebrate in style with these Mother’s Day Cocktail recipes!
