It is important that brunch cocktails be kept "light" both in sweetness and in alcoholic content.

There is usually an abundance of sweet foods offered throughout the day on Christmas, (and most likely you have had your share of sweets from the day before:)

A small addition of Champagne, or sparkling wine, can provide good flavour to a drink, with a moderate alcohol content.
