You can celebrate Mother\u2019s Day by buying mom some flowers. Or taking her to a nice restaurant. Or even letting her enjoy the day doing\u2026nothing.<\/p>\n

But we think many moms also appreciate a good bottle \u2014 of wine, spirits, what have you. So this Weekend Sip is devoted to boozy gift suggestions that seem especially mom-friendly for a variety of reasons. Here are our picks\u2026<\/p>\n

A gin for mom<\/h2>\n

Woody Creek Distillers is a Colorado-based company known especially for its vodka, made from locally harvested potatoes. It also produces award-winning whiskey, as in bourbon and rye. But the company\u2019s newest offering is Mary\u2019s Select Gin ($34.99) \u2014 and it\u2019s a sip inspired by Mary Scanlan, the company\u2019s co-founder and a mother of two herself. Scanlan said she wanted her team to fashion a gin with a feminine feel and non-traditional flavor (aside from the requisite juniper, the botanicals include rhubarb, yuzu and butterfly pea flower blossoms). And there\u2019s the gin\u2019s striking purple-ish color \u2014 Scanlan\u2019s favorite shade \u2014 courtesy of the butterfly pea flower.<\/p>\n

A whiskey for mom<\/h2>\n

Kentucky-based Blue Run Spirits is all about honoring its state\u2019s whiskey-making traditions. Its whiskey director is Shaylyn Gammon, a female \u201cpowerhouse\u201d in the bourbon and rye world who\u2019s a mom as well. The brand\u2019s latest offering \u2014 Blue Run Kentucky Straight Emerald Single Barrel Rye ($199.99) \u2014 put the spotlight on moms in a distinct way. There are several barrel releases in the series and each barrel is named after a mother in the lives of the label\u2019s founders. So you can sip a \u201cSharon\u201d rye or a \u201cCheryl\u201d rye or a \u201cJanis\u201d one (there are 10 barrel releases in all). Gammon says each barrel has its own unique personality, just like moms themselves.<\/p>\n

A wine for mom<\/h2>\n

In this case, it\u2019s a wine that honors a special mom: Carol Waldorf Lohr, who was the late wife of Jerry Lohr, founder of J. Lohr, the acclaimed California winery with vineyards in Monterey, Paso Robles and Napa Valley. The J. Lohr\u2019s Carol\u2019s Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon ($60), sourced from Napa, is the Lohr family\u2019s way of recognizing a woman and mom they have described as showing \u201ckindness, generosity, and care for others.\u201d Carol Lohr passed away in 2008 from complications related to breast cancer and portions of the sale of this bottle go to support the National Breast Cancer Foundation.<\/p>\n

A limoncello for mom<\/h2>\n

Make that limoncello in many forms. The Italian liqueur is naturally known (and beloved) for its distinct lemony favor \u2014 and it\u2019s a sip that can be easily appreciated by moms or just about anyone. Fabrizia Spirits is a New Hampshire-based company that makes delicious limoncello ($19.99) using Sicilian-sourced lemons. But it has expanded its offerings to include limoncello-flavored (but non-alcoholic) sweet treats, from biscotti to truffles, via its Fabrizia Lemon Baking Company. For Mother\u2019s Day, Fabrizia\u2019s bakery has a sampler \u201cLiMOMcello\u201d box ($44.99) that includes a variety of goodies.<\/p>\n
