Moms deserve a break from cooking and a mimosa Sunday.

To help families honor mom, several restaurants are offering free treats, Mother’s Day meals and discounts. Many more restaurants are offering savings through gift card promotions.

And one of the best deals is available everywhere mimosas are served.

Smartphone app Ibotta is offering moms across the country a free mimosa Sunday at all bars and restaurants through a special cashback rebate.

The “Mimosas for Moms” rebate will be available all-day Sunday for new and existing users under the “Restaurants and Bars” category. After buying the cocktail at any bar or restaurant, upload an itemized receipt to get up to $5 cash back added to your account.

Once you earn $20 through the app, which also offers rebates on groceries, online shopping and more, you can transfer money to a PayPal or Venmo account or choose a select gift card.

Be prepared for restaurants to be busy.

Brad Plothow, vice president of brand and communications for Womply, a small business software provider, said 44% of all restaurants reported Mother’s Day as the top sales day of 2017.

“While people grill at home on July 4, have friends over for the Super Bowl … the cultural norm for Mother’s Day is to take mom out for brunch or dinner at a restaurant of her choice,” Plothow said.
