Celebrate Mom With This Mother's Day Cocktail

Sparkling Mum cocktail

Looking for a special Mother’s Day cocktail to make for the mom(s) in your life, or to shake up for your mom self?

We came up with the “Sparkling Mum”, a Mother’s Day drink just for you!

We got our hands on a bottle of Four Pillars Bloody Shiraz Gin and were bold over by the purple-red color & the enjoyable flavors - with aromas & tasting notes of raspberry, pine forest juniper, and white pepper. We mixed it with some sparkling rosé (we recommend Tipp Rambler Rosé), citrus and hibiscus simple syrup - and voilà, here is our beautiful cocktail to serve mom!
