Saturdays are typically the time when we suggest a great recipe for you to cook up for brunch during the weekend, but as every serious bruncher knows, food is only half of the equation. Even if some of the people hanging out in your kitchen opt for coffee and OJ, entirely dry brunches are few and far between--some mimosa hopeful always brings a bottle of prosecco, the good guests come packing bloody mary mix, and the really good guests remember to bring a bottle of vodka, too.
There's a whole world of brunch-friendly cocktails beyond the old standbys, though, from the refreshing Pineapple-Mint Mojito to the carroty snap of The Rabbit. And just by coincidence, if that brunch goes on long enough (and the weather holds), these make for great cookout cocktails, too (though they don't have any ingredients that are actually grilled)
