table inspiration: mother's day

Mother's Day is a great opportunity to give back to the woman who raised you, and here at salt and cloth, you know we're doing it in style! For Stephanie's Mother's Day celebration brunch, we decided to base the theme on her Mother's teenage trip to Spain in the late 60's. The menu is a no brainer-tapas!-but the decor required a little more thought. A mixture of saturated colors, bold flowers and earthy elements were sought and all will be revealed post-brunch when the celebration is in full swing. To whet your appetite, we present to you the menu, signature cocktail and table elements. Get inspired!

Signature Cocktail



Blood Orange Mimosa with lime sugar rimmed glasses

Ingredients

1 1/2 C of blood orange juice, chilled
2 T Grand Marnier
1 bottle of Cava or Prosecco, chilled
Sugar
Lime wedges

Instructions

Combine fresh squeezed blood orange juice with the Grand Marnier and put in the fridge to chill. Make this ahead of time, so you're ready to go when your guests are. Take your champagne flutes and run a lime wedge along the rim. Dip in a plate of granulated sugar to coat. Pour chilled juice into the bottom of the flute, amount according to taste, and pour chilled Cava or Prosecco over the juice being careful not to splash the rim. Enjoy!
