3 Mother’s Day Luncheon Cocktail Recipes (Featuring Godiva Spirits)

by

I wrote about the wonderful Godiva Spirits Mother’s Day luncheon that I attended yesterday. Today, I want to share the other recipes that I learned about at the event. While the cocktails were served at a luncheon, they would be equally great for brunch or dinner. (I would say breakfast too, but I know that one of the greatest gifts that moms can receive on Mother’s Day is the “gift” of sleeping in!)
