Mother's Day; it's right around the literal corner. If you're anything like me and have yet to get your mom a gift, then I'm here to save the day with Korbel California Champagne. While champagne might seem like an obvious choice to give your mom, not all moms drink, so that's definitely something to consider. On that note, here's what you need to know about said Korbel California Champagne.
Deets, please.
Korbel California Champagne, the official sponsor of Brunch, has teamed up with home bartender and entertainer Natalie Migliarini (@beautifulbooze) for updated takes on classic brunch cocktails. Sip on a low-ABV Bubbly Bloody Mary made with tomato water, a Honey Grapefruit Mimosa utilizing the entire fruit, and a Strawberry Lemonade Spritz featuring a housemade simple syrup. Korbel California Champagne seems to be relatively affordable, too, with prices apparently being as low as $11 per bottle. I could be wrong, though, but still; it's relatively affordable when compared to Moët Chandon or Veuve Cliquot.
