Easter Peep Show and Supporting Drinks

Happy Easter, happy spring, or happy whatever you do or don't celebrate. We can always find something to celebrate, so we decided to try some Easter/spring themed cocktails this afternoon while waiting for the ham (or us) to cook. Here's what we came up with:

 Chocolate Easter Buzzy

1 1/2 oz. dark creme de cacao

1 1/2 oz. chocolate vodka

1/2 oz. cherry brandy

1 oz. white chocolate creme liqueur

Shake with ice; serve over ice. garnish with a marshmallow bunny or peep.

Jelly Bean Shooter

1 oz. black sambuca

1 oz. triple sec

1 oz. raspberry liqueur

Shake with ice. Strain into two shot glasses. garnish with a jelly bean.

Featured: (l to r) Polly & Paul Peep, Pinkie, Dave & Earl, Little
Blue Peep, Unknown Peep, Peter Cotton Balls (blue cocktail),
and Jelly Bean Shooters (rear)

Peter Cotton Balls

1 oz. blueberry vodka
