Mother's Day is Sunday, and we've put together some easy and healthy-ish cocktails to make or to send to Mom, because let's be honest, most Mom's would probably appreciate one! These past few months have been tiring, stressful, anxiety-inducing and challenging, so remember to give mom a (maybe virtual) hug, and tell her you love her.
However and wherever you are celebrating Mother's Day this year, we see you rockstar Mom's and we're raising one to you.
