Mother's
Day wouldn't be Mother's Day without some sort of fabulous breakfast in
bed. But when the kids are small (babies, even) and at best all
they can muster is smeary pancakes with peanut butter and jelly, what's
a thoughtful partner to do? First things first, friend.
Your darling girl needs a "Momosa," a classy relax-me-down drink
she can enjoy before Noon! In bed!
Any good Momosa starts
with excellent champagne. Assuming you don't want to spring for
Dom or Cristal, there are some fabulous alternatives that won't require
a 2nd mortgage, including Moet and Chandon, Tattinger (who can resist
that label?), or Veuve Clicquot.
Next, get some fresh squeezed
orange juice. You can't go wrong with Odwalla, but juice you
squeezed yourself will grant pennies (dimes even) in mama's heaven.
Pour 2 parts juice into a champagne flute or wine glass, and follow with one part champagne. Stir.
Presentation
is crucial. Skewer a cherry (it's sexy and colorful) with a
pretty swizzle stick, pour the final mixture into a chilled champagne
flute or wine glass, and put a rose in a vase. At this juncture,
no matter what else you put onto her tray, she'll be delighted.
