With summer in full swing, brunching on the weekends has become a staple in most of our weekend plans. While many tend to lean towards testing out the new cafe down the street, there are some other options to consider. Opt to host your brunch plans this weekend! Not only will you maybe save some money, but you will also have control over the cocktail menu as well as what food you eat! From Honey-Nut Cheerio Turnovers to Breakfast Pizza, there are endless new and trendy brunch ideas that could be done from the comfort of your own home.
Keep reading for some boozy brunch ideas as well as some small twists to incorporate into your weekend plans.
Cocktail competition
Include some friendly competition within the get-together! Give everyone a chance to make their cocktail of choice, however, try to encourage them to keep it within the brunch genre. Once everyone has brought out their concoction, have a scoreboard handy and then rate each beverage after tasting it! This is a great way to get everyone involved in the menu and adds a twist to your normal drink options. Hey! You could even find something you never knew you enjoyed before.
Brunch Board
We’ve all heard of, or even created our own, charcuterie board. However, the limit should not stop with just cheese and crackers (even though there are some extreme benefits from cheese.) This is the perfect way you can get creative with the food you are planning to serve. If you plan to lean heavier towards sweet breakfast food, utilize the board for an assortment of french toast, fruit and syrup. You easily add in some pancakes and a bowl of whip cream to top off your plate. On the other hand, you can opt for a more savory approach as well. Scrambled eggs, toast and some avocado will do the trick!
Wellness shots
Stay healthy! Incorporate some positive vibes into your day. A wellness shot can boost you and your loved one’s immune system, improve gut health, and prepare you for any exercise you have throughout the day. Prepare a tray of concentrated doses of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals and dish them out as the guests arrive. DIY wellness shots are very easy to create from your kitchen as well!
Start with 3 stalks of celery, a granny smith apple, a lemon slice, a 2-inch piece of ginger root, and some cayenne pepper. There you have it, all you need for the perfect start to your meal! Juice your ingredients up, and top with a shake of the cayenne pepper, place on a tray and you’ve taken your brunch to the next level.
Brunch is so much more than just a late breakfast between friends. You have so much room for creativity and to create something special. Comment below your favorite brunch activity – we’d love to hear from you!
