It’s FINALLY May! Everyone is coming out of their respective caves and gearing up to socialize, enjoy the nice weather, and celebrate spring. On Mother’s Day (or any other day), brunch is the best kind of low-pressure gathering. Incorporate seasonal produce like the sour, pink stems of rhubarb, or any number of tender green herbs, and the colors and tastes of spring will come alive. And don’t forget to toast to the season with a beautiful brunch cocktail. Cosmopolitan Magazine has a few beauts. Or try this easy, festive recipe for Rhubarb Pie cocktail.
