Recently I did a poll on Instagram asking moms what they really wanted for Mother’s Day and can you guess what most of the answers were? They all related to some form of self-care.
That’s right, moms want time off, time for themselves, some rest and relaxation, a spa day, a girl’s day/night, and my personal favorite – delish cocktails by the pool. I have to admit all of these options sound heavenly and while I can’t book a spa day for all my mama friends or make a pool appear (although that would be amazing!) – I can share a few of my favorite new cocktail recipes and tell you how you can get your own delivered straight to your door.
Let’s start with how you can get craft spirits delivered straight to your door. (Intended for a 21+ audience) Spirit Hub, the craft spirit authority, is an online retailer that partners with independent distilleries to bring you a collection of exceptional craft spirits direct to your door.

My Mother’s Day gift set just arrived and it came with Crescendo Spirits Pompelmocello Grapefruit Liqueur. This spirit was fan-requested as there are not a lot of grapefruit varieties out there, and let me say, it delivers!
Here are just two grapefruit cocktail recipes I know you’ll love:
Traditional Paloma
What you’ll need:
- 2 oz Tequila (Spirit Hub has a great Tequilla selection too!)
- 1 oz Pompelmocello Grapefruit Liqueur
- .5 oz Lime Juice
- Splash of Fresca
- Salt
- Grapefruit Twist
Steps:
Rim a glass with salt by dipping the glass in fresh lime juice and then salt.
Add tequila, lime juice, grapefruit liqueur, and a pinch of salt.
Add ice, top with a splash of Fresca and stir.
Garnish with a grapefruit twist.
Pink Sparkling Martini
What you’ll need:
- 1 oz Pompelmocello Grapefruit Liqueur

- .5 oz grapefruit juice
- 1 oz sparkling wine/prosecco

Here’s to all the mamas out there and don’t forget to put yourself first this Mother’s Day. Cheers!
