The best thing about celebrating Easter is all that wonderful candy.
Chocolate bunnies, marshmallow chicks, and jelly eggs and are all
delicious treats and it's a safe bet if you have kids, your sweet
darling progeny will come home with a basketful of these delights.
So what do you do with a houseful of candy?
Clean Plate Charlie suggests
taking your share of your kid's sugary booty. After all, you're the one
who drove little Timmy to see the Easter bunny in the first place,
right?
And what, exactly, should mom and dad do with these hard-earned (or swiped) candy treasures?
Make
cocktails, of course!
Serendipity 3, that famous mecca of all things
decadent, has shared two candy-filled Easter cocktail recipes with us.
Make them at home, or try them at the restaurant for $12, along with
their special holiday brunch.
The Jelly Bean
2oz Godiva white chocolate liquor
1oz vodka
1oz milk
1/2oz blue curaçao
Combine ingredients and shake. Strain into champagne glass & top with a Jelly Bean skewer.
The Sparkling Peep
1 1/2oz whipped cream vodka
1 1/2oz strawberry vodka
1oz mango juice
Splash of prosecco
Combine ingredients and shake. Strain into a wine glass rimmed with green sprinkles
& top off the cocktail with prosecco. A skewered bunny "Peeps" out of the top of the glass.
