With warm weather on the horizon, there’s nothing like the feeling of getting up early on a Saturday morning and enjoying brunch on the patio while it’s bright and sunny… and not too chilly or terribly hot. Mix things up a bit by adding Bohemia beer to your brunch cocktails. Its wine-like texture, slight fizziness and soft fruit aromas blend well with fruit juices making it a great add-in to your morning OJ. Try subbing it for champagne in a mimosa or add it to your Bloody Mary.
Check out recipes for both cocktails below:
