I attended a Mother’s Day celebration at A Voce Columbus that was sponsored by Godiva Spirits back in May of 2012.  The cocktails that were created by a variety of mixologists were outstanding. While the drinks were served at a luncheon, they would be equally great for a Mother’s Day brunch or dinner. (I would include breakfast too, but I know that one of the greatest gifts that moms can receive on Mother’s Day is the “gift” of sleeping late.) Enjoy!
