Easter Cheers




I saw this on Pinterest and thought it was adorable and delicious looking! I hope or "hop" you like it too!  I have a companion cocktail I'll post tomorrow!

For the cocktail:

Rim a martini glass with thick simple syrup and then dip into dyed green coconut flakes, then adorn with a little marshmallow peep!

Prepare the glasses ahead of time and put them on a tray decorated with jelly beans and other seasonal delights for a stunning effect.

For the cocktail:

1 1/2 ounces cherry vodka

1/2 ounce Triple Sec

3 ounces half and half or milk

Shake with ice until chilled, pour into decorated glasses, garnish with peep and serve!

  5. Hello Mary:
    We have long thought that the cocktail hour should make a come back in a big way, and this delicious looking glass based on cherry vodka looks exactly right for any fun occasion. And, we imagine, it tastes rather good!!
