With spring comes Easter, and with Easter comes the first big family gathering of the year. Once you've outgrown the egg hunting, what better way to celebrate than with delicious, easy-to-make Easter cocktails?

Easter is mostly about having brunch or coffee and tea in the afternoon. Thus, the cocktail menu shifts to a sweeter, slightly less boozy selection than you might usually imbibe.

Another favorite for Easter is everything rich, creamy, and sweet that goes perfectly with all the other treats. Basically, some grown-up candy while the kids search for chocolate and colored eggs.

Our 9 Must-Try Easter Cocktails

We start with an Easter Drink that's fruity, sparkly, and an change to a regular glass of bubbly and a fantastic alternative to the Brunch Classic with orange juice:

1.Raspberry Mimosa

Raspberry Mimosa Easter Cocktail

Ingredients:

  • 1 oz raspberry sorbet
  • 1 oz raspberry liqueur
  • 4 oz sparkling wine
  • fresh raspberries

Instructions:

First, add the sorbet to your champagne flute, then the liqueur, and finally, top it off with the bubbly. Let a handful of fresh raspberries float on top as garnish.

Mimosas are a great part of the fun when brunching. Making a Raspberry version makes the whole concept only better. It's a beautiful composition of refreshing, tart raspberry sorbet, raspberry liqueur, and your favorite dry sparkling wine. 

2. Dirty Banana Cocktail 

Dirty Banana Easter Cocktail

Ingredients:

  • 2 oz dark rum
  • 1 oz coffee liqueur
  • 1 oz Giffard Banane du Brésil
  • 2 oz heavy cream (or single cream)
  • 1 ripe banana

Instructions:

Add all ingredients plus some ice into a blender. Now blend until you get a smooth texture and garnish with a slice of banana and chocolate flakes.

The Dirty Banana is a smooth, fluffy, creamy drink that could easily pass as a smoothy when looking at it but is a superb Easter Cocktail. The color of this cocktail may not be overly impressive, but the taste is amazing. The flavor of banana mixed with coffee, rum, and cream is a winner.

Make sure that the bananas are ripe. The skin should show some dark spots. Generally, it is better to use one that's slightly overripe than one that's immature and bitter.

3. Coconut Margarita

5. Midori Sour

Midori Sour Easter Cocktail

This one is fun. You may not guess it at first glance, but this Midori Sour is full of melon flavor. The green liqueur used in this drink is flavored with Japanese musk melon - tastewise, that's somewhere in-between watermelon and cantaloupes. It's an unusual drink that will surprise your guests.

Carrot Mimosa Easter Cocktail

  • 3 oz champagne
  • 3 oz carrot juice
  • carrot slice and fennel greens for garnish
