What’s more relaxing than a weekend brunch with friends? The company of your best friends, coupled with the deliciousness of some delightful bites can be a great way to close out a stressful week. On your next brunch outing with friends, or the next time you host brunch for your friends, consider pairing the courses and cocktails detailed below. A coupling to consider serving is pairing a bloody mary with steak and eggs. Just as synonymous with brunch as mimosas, the bloody mary is a cocktail with practically unlimited potential. You can add an assortment of toppings ranging from sliced jalapeño peppers and pepper jack cheese cubes for a spicy kick to celery sticks and olives for a crisp refresher. With these potentially outrageously garnished drinks, the world is your oyster — which also happens to be a common component. While this combination is sure to provide you with a meal you’ll remember for the week to come, there are always more pairings to make for a successful brunch. Whatever you decide to order, just be sure to spend the time relaxing and enjoying the company of your friends.
