Pitcher Perfect

Many will bring out the bubbly and make mimosa's for brunch for Sunday, but maybe the springtime weather calls for something fresh and fruity that can be made in advance to serve a crowd — cue the sangria. Spin tradition to mix mom a white sangria to sip on. Or try a Tea Tini. First, make a batch of homemade iced tea, try berry, lavender or chamomile tea bags for extra flavour. Then, in a cocktail shaker, mix ice with two parts vodka to one part iced tea and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Shake until cold and pour into a chilled cocktail glass rimmed with sugar. Garnish with a lemon slice. For wine suggestions, take a look at Wine Access National Tasting Panel member Craig Pinhey's bottles for Mother's Day.

Spa Time

Sending Mom to the spa is a great way for her to relax. Check out local offerings, or splurge and send her to one of these European wine-inspired spas this summer. Or, if the budget's tight, try an at-home spa experience. Light candles, play relaxing music and pamper Mom. Draw her a bath and present her with a basket of spa goodies like nail polish, a loofah, a sugar scrub, body wash or bath salts.

Best Brunch

Elevate Sunday's midday meal to a higher standard by making delicious braised leeks with mozzarella and a fried egg for Mom's brunch.

If you're celebrating at dinner instead, how about trying your hand with this House & Home lemon and honey chicken recipe. Mother's Day wouldn't be complete without dessert and kids want to help make Mom something special. Have them join you in the kitchen to layer store-bought pound cake with sliced strawberries and whip cream. Top it with chocolate shavings and you'll have a simple and yummy dessert to present to Mom.
