My favorite thing about Mother's Day? MIMOSAS!
I mean, after church and being showered with love from Rich and Zhuri, of course. :)
Motherhood has given me so much — more love, more laughter, and more mimosas before noon than I ever expected.
It's made me appreciate the quiet, everyday ways women show up for their families and for themselves. Whether it’s a hug at the right moment, a meal that feels like home, or a celebration pulled together with love — moms make magic.
Mother’s Day is a celebration of all the beautiful ways women show up in our lives — with love, strength, creativity, and endless care. So why not toast to the special women in your life with a mimosa that matches their unique spirit?
I’ve rounded up five fresh mimosa recipes, each inspired by a different kind of mom. Whether she's a classic, a dreamer, a trailblazer, or a nurturer, there’s a perfect pour waiting to be served.
Find the one that feels just like her (or you!) — and make this Mother's Day a little extra special. (Full recipes linked below!)
The Basil-Strawberry Mimosa — For the Garden Goddess
Fresh, vibrant, and a little unexpected — just like the mom who knows her way around a flower bed and always reminds you to stop and smell the roses. This bright twist on a classic will make her heart bloom.The Pear Mimosa — For the Elegant Traditionalist
Understated, refined, and effortlessly graceful. The pear mimosa is perfect for the mom who loves classic beauty with a subtle twist — the one who taught you that less is often more.The Lychee-Rose Mimosa — For the Romantic Dreamer
Delicate, floral, and sweet — this one's for the mom who believes in love notes, fresh-cut flowers, and the magic of a beautiful moment.The Rosemary Grapefruit Mimosa — For the Modern Muse
Bold, herbaceous, and a little unexpected, just like the mom who’s always one step ahead of the trends — and somehow pulls it off effortlessly.The Classic Orange Mimosa — For the Life of the Party
You can’t go wrong with a classic! This one’s for the mom who lights up every room she walks into — the one who can turn an ordinary Sunday into a celebration.
This time last year, I was still adjusting to what it meant to be someone’s mother — finding my rhythm, building new traditions, learning how to hold space for others while still holding onto myself.
Every mimosa on this list is a little love letter to the different kinds of mothers who inspire me daily — friends, sisters, aunties, mentors, and the woman who raised me.
However you're celebrating this year, I hope you take a moment to savor the sweetness — and the strength — that mothers bring into the world.
Whether you mix up a garden-fresh Strawberry Basil or stick to the forever classic Orange, the most important ingredient is love.
