La Sangrona at The Fruteria
1401 S. Flores St., (210) 251-3104
Leave it to chef Johnny Hernandez to give us a variation on the bloody mary with a tequila twist. Mixing tomato juice, lime juice, Tres Generaciones Blanco tequila and finished with a dash of Worcester sauce and celery, La Sangrona is the drink of choice for selective brunchers.

That Funky Monkey from Barbaro
2720 McCullough Ave., (210) 320-2261
Beer fans who have a penchant for sweetness will want to imbibe this citrusy and fun beer cocktail that combines Belgian Ale, with Campari's sweeter cousin Aperol and fresh orange juice. 
$8

Pick Me Up from Grayze
521 E. Grayson St., (210) 481-8776
Blink and you'll miss this tiny, but powerful concoction on this week's cover just above the "h" in Brunch. It’ll wake you right up for Sunday Funday as it contains an espresso shot, Licor 43 and lemon cream. It's their take on the Spanish Carajillo.
