The cocktail renaissance in America in the early aughts has led to a renewed interest not only in the craft of cocktailing, but home mixology. If you have a few bottles of whiskey, rum, gin, vodka, or tequila at home, there’s a chance you also have some ingredients to whip up a cocktail or two when your friends stop by. But wouldn’t you rather have a fully curated home cocktail kit from a popular distillery?

Lucky for you, the distillers at Garrison Brothers are here to help up your home cocktail game. Founded in 2006, the Hye, Texas-based distillery is the first and oldest legal bourbon distillery in the Lone Star State. Recently, it announced the launch of a series of home cocktail kits.

Brighten up your brunch with these colorful Mimosa variations
Favorites Bistro Bar

There's no cocktail that screams "brunch" more than a Mimosa, so it's a natural first choice for any Easter brunch celebration. The classic version of the cocktail uses just two ingredients: orange juice and Prosecco, and it's so easy to make that you don't even need any equipment. Just pour equal parts of the orange juice (preferably freshly squeezed, and with bits for added texture) and Prosecco into a Champagne flute and you're ready to welcome your guests with an easy to drink, low-ABV cocktail that is enjoyed by practically everyone.

If you fancy getting a bit creative though, you can make your Mimosa something extra special. I like to add a small shot of Campari to the bottom of the flute for my Mimosas, which adds a bracing bitter note and also forms a lovely ombré color effect if you don't mix the ingredients.
