The (Mother's Day) Drink: The Stanton Sunrise

When I think back to some of the things I put my mother through while growing up, it occurs to me that a cocktail might be the most appropriate Mother’s Day gift I could give.

Enter the Stanton Sunrise, a cheery brunchy cocktail, from NYC’s Stanton Social. The velvety sweetness of the blood orange liqueur balanced by the tartness of the lemon juice makes this sunrise shine.

What makes it so great for Mother’s Day? "It’s a refreshing twist on an old classic,” explains Stanton Social Mixologist Dante Alston, who created the libation.
