This Bud's for You

Send to a friend

This Sunday, give Mom something that doesn't come in a bottle.

She drove you to school. You drove her nuts.

Isn't it time you gave Mom a real break? This Mother's Day, skip the roses and celebrate your best bud with a Garden Bouquet, the DIY gift that's guaranteed to put her in good spirits. Literally.

Created by mixologist and author Natalie Bovis-Nelsen (aka The Liquid Muse), the Garden Bouquet is a seasonal and relatively low-cal cocktail that's easy to whip up at home. Fragrant and fresh-tasting, the recipe combines white wine, lavender tea, rosemary, lemon and vodka, resulting in a light drink that feels like spring in a glass.

Bring a batch to dinner, or invite Mom over for a girls' night in. Either way, you'll both get the (budget-friendly) gift of quality mother-daughter time.

Click here for the full Garden Bouquet recipe and watch your relationship with Mom blossom.

Psst...need a gift for a soon-to-be mommy? Give her Natalie's healthy mocktail book, PreggatinisTM: Mixology for the Mom-To-Be!
