Mother's Day is on May 13th this year, so in order to celebrate, the team at Rivvly has put together 13 of our favorite drink recipies to share with all our supermom-sisters making it happen every. single. day. We see you and we raise our glasses to you!
The majority of us at Rivvly are moms, and we are not strangers to the daily struggle of keeping it all together, day in and day out. We know what a blessing it is to find 5 minutes alone in the bathroom (...TRYING, the whole time, not to worry about what mess you're about walk out to) AND we know how far some wine, whine, & unwind time can go (hubbys....take the hint). We ALL celebrate together this weekend, as one, supporting each other in the beautiful chaos that is motherhood. Cheers, ladies! Happy Mother's Day!
[Spoiler alert; our fave is #13! Comment below with your go-to mom drink!]

- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 Meyer lemon zested and juiced
