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.
Cakes so amazing they'd be hard to cut into
Fruit juice: An invitation to diabetes?
Morbid thoughts? Have a cookie
