Delightful Drink Recipes for your Easter Celebration

As Easter approaches, it’s the perfect time to think about how to add a touch of elegance to your holiday celebration. We’ve put together some delightful drink recipes for your Easter celebration.

Always adjust according to your taste and the number of servings you need:

Sparkling Easter Mimosa:

For each serving, mix 4 oz of orange juice with 4 oz of sparkling wine in a champagne flute. Add a splash (about 1 tsp) of grenadine for color and garnish with a strawberry.

Lavender Lemonade:

Combine 1 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice, 1 cup of lavender syrup, and 4 cups of cold water. Adjust sweetness by adding more syrup or lemon juice as needed. Serve over ice and garnish with lemon slices and lavender sprigs.

Berry Basil Gin Smash:

In a shaker, muddle a handful of fresh berries (about 1/4 cup) and 3-4 basil leaves. Add 2 oz of gin, 1 oz of lemon juice, and 1/2 oz of simple syrup. Shake with ice and strain into a glass filled with ice.

Cucumber Mint Cooler:

Blend 1/2 cucumber (sliced), 10 mint leaves, the juice of 2 limes, and 2 tbsp of simple syrup until smooth. Strain the mixture, serve over ice, and top with soda water. Adjust sweetness or mintiness as desired.

Easter Egg Cocktail:

Shake together 1 oz of crème de cacao, 1 oz of blue curaçao, and 2 oz of half-and-half with ice. Strain into a martini glass for a creamy, eye-catching drink.
