Brunch Cocktail Ideas
Cocktails are the best part of brunch! Set up a mimosa bar with ice cold champagne bottles and carafes of freshly squeezed juice, and and allow your guests to customize their own mimosa creations. For added fun, use a bar cart to keep the party rolling!
Besides mimosas, you can also create craft cocktails using gin or vodka mixed with fruity flavors such as blackberry, raspberry or grapefruit along with delicate flavors such as cucumber and rose. Stick with refreshing flavors to keep things light for your daytime brunch. Of course, we can’t forget about the ultimate brunch drink — the bloody mary. This is another drink idea that’s great to set up as a bar, along with all the delicious fixings ranging from olives to bacon strips!

Brunch Beverage Ideas
From lavender iced coffee to ginger lemonade, there are plenty of non-alcoholic beverage options you can come up with. Customize your drinks by using floral ice cubes or freezing pieces of fruit like watermelon to use as ice cubes.
Of course, no brunch is complete without coffee and tea. Set up a coffee and tea bar to avoid dealing with messy creamers and sugar packets at the table. And this will allow your guests who love their caffeine to help themselves to seconds anytime they want.
Water is important for keeping everyone at the party hydrated, so consider setting up a water bar infused with refreshing flavors such as lemon, orange and cucumber.
Brunch Floral Ice Ideas
Freeze your flowers to create edible flower ice cubes or a custom molded ice bucket to keep your champagne bottles nice and cold. When making floral ice cubes, be sure to use distilled water to prevent cloudiness. Also, use edible flowers that are pesticide-free to avoid contaminating your drinks. There are many flowers that can work for this creative idea, from small buds to large blooms and even dried flowers!

Brunch Food Ideas
Get creative with your brunch menu by creatively displaying your food items. For example, you can stack donuts and pastries into a tower or top yogurt parfaits with gorgeous edible flowers. A cheese and fruit platter is great to serve family style along with a champagne to wash it all down.
For a larger brunch party, consider setting up a food bar such as a pancake bar or even a taco bar to allow your guests to easily serve themselves (and get seconds). If you’re hosting a more intimate brunch with fewer people, set up your meal family style with shareable platters on the table for guests to pass along.
