    While the religious holiday Easter isn’t typically considered a holiday for large gatherings in the sense of the Fourth of July, Halloween, or New Year’s Eve, it is still celebrated on a smaller scale through Easter brunches and dinners with family and friends.

    Easter also takes place in spring, a season conjuring images of rebirth, rejuvenation, and sunny skies ahead as we transition from winter.

    Our favorite cocktails for Easter are a combination of classic cocktails, spring cocktails, and ones you can enjoy anytime during the day.

    From the egg hunt to the big Easter brunch we have you covered with the perfect Easter drink.

    Let’s dive in!

    raspberries floating in a red cocktail in a wine glass

    Oh, Honey Bee Moscato Wine Cocktail

    Ingredients: Moscato, Lemon Juice, Raspberries, Thyme Sprigs, Honey

    Made with Frontera Moscato, raspberries, honey, and thyme, this summer refresher has the perfect balance of sweet, bright, and herbal. Bonus - the raspberries absorb the alcohol after some time, leaving you with boozy fruit at the bottom of your glass!

    You’ll need a cocktail muddler to extract the flavor from the raspberries and thyme and a cocktail shaker to combine and cool the mixture to chilled perfection.

    Two Bay Breeze Cocktails with lime circles next to a few limes

    Bay Breeze Cocktail

    Ingredients: Vodka, Pineapple Juice, Cranberry Juice, Lime Wedges

    Pineapple juice transforms the Cape Cod cocktail into a sweet highball drink perfect for brunch or relaxing with friends. While a budget vodka works fine for adding booze, use a flavored vodka if you crave more fruit flavor. If you enjoy this slightly bitter fruit, add bubbles with Prosecco, Sprite, or tonic water and increase the cranberry ratio.

    Pour this cocktail into a highball glass and finish it with a lime wedge on the rim. You’ll need a bar spoon to layer or stir the cocktail flavors. A cocktail shaker is optional for this drink.

    Check out all of our vodka cocktails.

    Orange Moscow Mule in a copper mule mug next to a bowl of oranges and ginger beer and vodka

    Orange Moscow Mule

    Ingredients: Vodka, Orange Juice, Ginger Beer, Lime Juice, Orange Slice Garnish

    Make this zesty mule using any available citrus juice, such as blood orange and tangerine. You may also be surprised that this Moscow mule with a twist was inspired by Sorrento, Italy, where lemons hang freely from restaurant pergolas.

    Adjust the vodka ratio if you prefer a boozier drink, and pour it into a copper mule mug for the authentic Moscow mule experience. We recommend using OXO angled jiggers to perfect your pours and a bartending spoon to stir the ingredients.

    Check out all of our mule cocktails.

    Two red Woo Woo Drinks in tall glasses wtih lime wedges next to a cloth napkin

    Woo Woo Drink

    Ingredients: Vodka, Peach Schnapps, Cranberry Juice, Lime Wedge for Garnish

    Although its origins remain unclear, some accounts say that the Woo Woo drink was served to fans at bars each time the New York Mets scored in a game. It is inspired by the Fuzzy Navel, which typically swaps cranberry juice for orange juice.

    This drink looks pretty in red in a highball glass. Make it punch bowl-style by floating watermelon, berries, or any other fruit you’d like to infuse into the main mixture. As with many of our cocktail creations, we recommend an ice cube maker for perfectly shaped ice cubes each round.

    peach moscato cocktail in a champagne glass next to a bottle of moscato

    Delicious Frosty Peach Moscato Cocktail

    Ingredients: Peach Moscato, Frozen Peaches

    Andre Peach Moscato and frozen peaches make this fruity and sweet frozen peach Moscato cocktail a natural accompaniment to Easter brunch. This one goes down dangerously well. Place a peach slice in your champagne flute and wait for boozy, peach Moscato-soaked peaches.

    Raspberry Lemonade Moscato Punch in two glasses and a large pitcher next to roses

     

    Raspberry Lemonade Moscato Punch Cocktail

    Ingredients: Moscato, Pink Lemonade, Lemon Wedges, and Raspberries for Garnish

    A pitcher of this blush-pink cocktail made with fresh raspberries looks so good on a spring or summertime brunch spread. The friendship between Melissa McCarthy and Maya Rudolph, the stars of Life of the Party, inspired this cocktail. I loved witnessing the camaraderie among all who attended the premiere at Auburn University - it’s a friendly reminder that we can still have fun into our 40s.

    Peach Iced Tea Cocktail in a mason jar glass with sliced peaches and a paper straw

     

    Peach Iced Tea Cocktail

    Ingredients: Smirnoff Sorbet Light White Peach Vodka, Diet Peach Iced Tea, Peaches

    This two-ingredient refresher combines Smirnoff Sorbet Light White Peach Vodka with diet peach iced tea for a summer sipper that goes down well with barbecues and other time spent in the warm outdoors yet is kind to the waistline.

    Make it by the glass or pitcher, depending on your crowd's needs, by doubling or tripling the recipe. Then, for a fun twist, freeze the peaches and add the frozen peaches to each drink. They’ll act as ice cubes while cold and infuse beautiful peach flavor as they thaw into the glass.

    Two red cocktails in tall glasses garnished with maraschino cherries next to a bowl of cherries

    Dirty Shirley Cocktail

    Ingredients: Vodka, Grenadine, Sprite, Ice

    Adding vodka makes the Dirty Shirley a grown-up version of the Shirley Temple, which in contrast, is made nonalcoholic with soda and grenadine. Although we use unflavored vodka, you can mix it with cherry or vanilla if you prefer some flavoring. Finally, make it with cherry moonshine for extra cherry goodness and booze.

    We recommend a highball or Collins glass and a bar spoon for preparing this drink. Finish it off with maraschino cherries for garnish and cute paper straws. If you make it punch bowl-style, add the soda before serving to preserve the fizziness of the drink.

    Lavender Lemonade Cocktail in tall glasses with paper straws next to a bowl of lemons

     

    Lavender Lemonade Cocktail

    Ingredients: Lavender Vodka, Lemonade

    We were inspired to concoct this warm-weather lavender lemonade sipper following a trip to Oakhurst Spirits in California’s Yosemite area, where we sampled a lavender vodka. However, the true story behind this cocktail began years ago when my husband tried a similar cocktail at a Spokane hotel grand opening and mentioned I should recreate it.

    Add a splash of Prosecco, or use sparkling lemonade instead of regular lemonade for a fizzy twist. Pour into collins glasses and serve using pastel-colored paper straws for the perfect Easter brunch look. We used lavender and yellow straws in our photos of this recipe.

    strawberries and basil in a lemonade cocktail with paper straw next to more strawberries and a lemon wedge

    Strawberry Basil Lemonade Cocktail

    Ingredients: Smirnoff Strawberry Sorbet Light Vodka, Diet Lemonade, Fresh Basil

    This strawberry basil lemonade is the perfect down-home drink for the summer months. The muddled basil and fresh strawberries floating around the glass look cute, especially when the cocktail is served with a fun paper straw.

    Do you love sweet, juicy strawberries as much as we do? We’ve got a roundup of over 20+ Epic Strawberry Recipes to help you make the most of your strawberry stash.

    Lemonade moonshine in a mason jar with two lemons

    Slow Cooker Crock Pot Lemonade Moonshine

    Ingredients: Juiced Lemons, Water, White Sugar, Everclear

    We knew we had to experiment with more moonshine recipes following the success of our Crock Pot Cherry Pie Moonshine.

    Your trusty slow cooker combines juiced lemons, water, sugar, and high-proof Everclear into the perfect summer moonshine. We love gifting these in labeled Ball mason jars to friends and family.

    Fuzzy Navel boozy popsicles on a bed of ice with oranges

     

    Fuzzy Navel Boozy Popsicles

    Ingredients: Pureed Large Peach, Orange Juice, Peach Schnapps

    While seemingly a dig at the imbiber’s hygiene, there’s sense to this oddly-named fruity cocktail turned popsicle - the peach schnapps makes it fuzzy, while navel refers to the orange variety. We used these DIY popsicle pouches with funnel attachments to fill each without wasting product due to spillage.

    Mint Julep

    Ingredients: Mint Simple Syrup, Fresh Mint Leaves, Kentucky Bourbon, Crushed Ice, Hibiscus Syrup

    The Mint Julep is the perfect Easter Cocktail! We need a reason to enjoy this delicious cocktail on days other than the Kentucky Derby.

    Additional Easter Cocktail favorites include a great Mimosa, Paloma, Peach Bellini, Brandy Alexander, Bloody Marys, and Tequila Sunrise!

    Easter Shots

    Layered jelly bean shot on a white coaster surrounded by jelly beans

     

    Jelly Bean Shot

    Ingredients: Grenadine, Sambuca Liqueur, Southern Comfort

    Do you love licorice? If so, you’ll love the anise-flavored sambuca that adds a unique and nostalgic quality to this shot. You’ll need OXO angled jiggers, a bartending spoon, and 2-ounce shot glasses to make it come alive.

    Want a sweet, brightly-colored version of this shot? Make this layered shot with blue curaçao, cherry vodka, and pineapple juice.

    Need help with cocktail layering? We have a nifty guide to pouring layered shots to help light the way.

    layered red cocktail garnished with cherries

    Pineapple Upside Down Cake Shot

    Ingredients: Vanilla Vodka, Pineapple Juice, Grenadine

    Get ready to be delighted by this shooter's smooth blend of vanilla vodka, pineapple juice, and grenadine. Garnish this tropical dessert-turned-libation with maraschino cherries like a pineapple upside-down cake. For a full-sized cocktail, increase the proportions according to the size of your glass and serve in a martini glass or on the rocks.

    You’ll need shot glasses, a cocktail shaker, and a bartending spoon for this layered shot recipe. The bar spoon is essential for the layered, gradient-like effect that makes this shot pop.

    Layered Jelly Donut shot next to a jelly doughnut and napkin

    Jelly Donut Shot

    Ingredients: RumChata, Chambord Liqueur

    This decadent and fun layered shooter tastes like a jelly-filled pastry. Our favorite Spokane donut shops inspired us to make this shooter, which also gave us an excuse to pick up a dozen for the recipe photos. Swap the RumChata for Bailey’s Irish Cream if you’re feeling adventurous, as this may give it a minty aftertaste.

    Pink Starburst Shot on a white coaster surrounded by Starburst candies

    Pink Starburst Shot and Cocktail Recipe

    Ingredients: Vanilla Vodka, Watermelon Schnapps, Sweet and Sour Mix, Corn Syrup, Pink Sprinkles, Pink Starburst for Garnish

    We crafted this shot recipe when Starbucks’ Pink Starburst Refresher became a cult favorite in the blogosphere. Vanilla vodka, sweet and sour mix, and watermelon schnapps combine to create a fun shooter that tastes like paper-wrapped square candies.

    This gem is from our series of candy-flavored shots. If you like this recipe, check out our other ones inspired by fan-favorite candies, such as the Tootsie Roll Shot and the Butterfinger Shot.
