Who doesn't love brunch? When the sun is shining and the patio is calling your name, there's nothing better than taking some time to relax, enjoy the company of family and friends, and revel in a leisurely meal.

I've turned a few of my favorite brunch cocktails into some delicious, frozen versions that are easy to make in a Blendtec blender. Don't feel obligated to follow my recipes exactly. Experiment with different levels of seasonings in the Frozen Bloody Mary, and try different fruit sherbets and sorbets in the Orange Fromos and Raspberry Fromos. You can also make the recipes without alcohol.
