Easter is just around the corner, and what better way to celebrate it than having a tipple (along with plenty of chocolate and Easter eggs of course). Whether you enjoy something creamy and sweet or a little festive fizz, there’s a cocktail recipe to suit everyone.
What is an Easter cocktail?
From Easter-themed mimosas to mudslides and even a Mini Egg martini, there's an Easter cocktail out there - no matter your taste.
Unlike with Christmas cocktail recipes, there isn't one particular drink that is associated with Easter. Although Snowballs and mulled wine will be back again before you know it, hosting for this holiday allows you to get a little creative.
Whether you're throwing a party or just whipping up a couple of drinks for your better half, we've pulled together a list of the Easter cocktails you need on your menu this bank holiday.
