Easter doesn't seem like one of the bigger drinking holidays. Christmas? Sure. Valentine's Day? Sure, especially if you're not with anyone. But Easter? Well, I guess any situation where you have to deal with your family is a situation where you might want to drink.
About.com has a variety of Easter-oriented cocktails, and, of course, they're a little sweeter than many cocktails, in keeping with the holiday. But they aren't for kids!
The Easter Bunny
1 1/2 oz. dark creme de cacao
1/2 oz. vodka
1 tsp chocolate syrup
1 tsp cherry brandy
Pour the creme de cacao and vodka into a cocktail shaker with ice. Strain into an old fashioned glass with ice cubes. Float chocolate syrup and brandy on top.
The Jelly Bean
1/2 oz. blackberry brandy or grenadine
1/2 oz. annisette or sambuca
1/2 oz. Southern Comfort
Pour brandy/grenadine into a shot glass. Float anisette or samuca on first level. Float Southern Comfort on second level. (Will that work? And is blackberry brandy interchangable with grenadine?)
The Easter Egg Cocktail
1 oz blue curacao
1 oz. white creme de cacao
half and half
Pour the blue curacao and creme de cacao into an old fashioned glass with ice. Float half and half on top.
