10 Weekend Brunch-worthy Cocktails

Raise a glass to the weekend with one of these 10 Weekend Brunch-worthy Cocktails...

If you ask me, the weekends were just made for brunching. For starters, you don't have to get up early to enjoy brunch. You can sleep in AND still get to enjoy the best of breakfast & lunch. And when I think of a weekend brunch, I also picture inviting a few friends over and sharing plates of bacon, pancakes, & made to order omelettes. In fact, there is nothing I love more than preparing a tasty brunch spread at home on a Saturday or Sunday morning and kicking back with a brunch-worthy cocktail.

I know that when most of us think of brunchy cocktails that Bloody Marys & mimosas usually come to mind. And while I have definitely included a few unique twists on both of these classic libations in this collection of weekend brunch-worthy cocktails, there are also a few boozy concoctions featured below that are sure to kick you out of that brunch cocktail rut. It isn't all about the vodka & champagne, folks! Tequila, gin, Kahlua, & even beer are the stars of some of the tasty cocktail recipes you will find below. 

Ready to get your brunch on this weekend? ;) Let's get you started with this collection of 10 Weekend Brunch-worthy Cocktails... 

12 Savory Brunch-worthy Casseroles & Bakes

 Brimming with eggs, cheese, sausage, bacon, and lots of veggies & flavor, these 12 Savory Brunch-worthy Casseroles & Bakes are the perfect way to start your weekend...

Over the weekend I shared with you all 12 Brunch-worthy French Toast Casseroles.   But with Easter in just a few short days (and Easter brunches!), I had to also pay homage to the delicious & savory brunch-worthy casseroles and bakes.  

Because not everyone is into the sweet breakfast dishes, or maybe you would like to have a little variety at your weekend brunch to please everyone's palates. ;)

I searched high and low and gathered up the tastiest savory brunch casseroles and bakes that I could find from my favorite food bloggers- brimming with eggs, cheese, sausage, bacon, lots of veggies, and of course, flavor! 

You are sure to find at least one recipe below that should make an appearance on your weekend brunch menu.

Foodie on a Budget: Arrabbiata Bloody Mary

It is Sunday, and Sundays mean brunch, right?  When I think of Sunday brunch, I think of Belgian waffles, fluffy omelets, crispy bacon... and bloody marys!  ;)

Did you ever think of making your next round of Sunday brunch bloody marys with pasta sauce?  Me neither until I was trying to come up with something clever to use my Delallo Pomodoro Fresco Spicy Arrabbiata Sauce.  Why not a spicy bloody mary? ;)

What you will need:

1 shot of vodka (or a little more... whatever ;) )

1 cup of Pomodoro Fresco Spicy Arrabbiata sauce

1/2 cup of water

juice from 1/2 a lime

a few dashes of celery salt

a few dashes of Worcestershire sauce

You will note that I left hot sauce out of this recipe.  Hot sauce is really not necessary in this cocktail.  Trust me on this.  ;)

Basically toss all the ingredients in a cocktail shaker with some ice.  Shake well, and then strain into a tall glass filled with ice.  I do stress to make sure you strain the drink.  Unless you like a little chew to your bloody mary.  Garnish with lime, olives, pickles, celery... whatever floats your spicy little boat.  This recipe makes enough for one large (think about 16 oz) bloody mary.  

Well, you know I have to ask.... Have you entered the Delallo Pomodoro Fresco Sauce giveaway yet?  Well, what exactly are you waiting for?  ;)
