Anyone who hosts a big Easter celebration knows that there are several important things to keep in mind ahead of the fun festivities. Yes, of course, chocolate bunnies are one of them. But the others include exciting Easter activities, a menu full of traditional Easter foods, and certainly a variety of Easter cocktails! Whether it's a refreshing brunch cocktail to pair with a stack of pancakes or an after-dinner drink that doubles as an Easter dessert, this list has tons of ideas for a springtime celebration.
Speaking of spring, many of the Easter cocktails ahead are bursting with seasonal flavor like strawberry margaritas and a white wine sangria that's loaded with fresh fruit. For those looking for a batch of Easter drinks that serve a crowd, there are plenty of ideas here. Mix up a big pitcher of perfectly on theme Easter punch or try out the spiked Arnold Palmer—then serve it over ice with lemon and mint. Or when in doubt, you can always set up a DIY mimosa bar and let your guests help themselves.
Whether it's tequila, vodka, or gin you're after, these easy cocktail recipes are perfect for your Easter feast. There's even a refreshing frozen lemonade included that can be made with or without the booze for a mocktail recipe that every bunny, no matter their age, can enjoy. Whichever you choose, be sure to take your Easter drink outdoors to sip on before or after your holiday egg hunt.
