Best Easter cocktail recipes
Chocolate old fashioned
Cocoa-scented whisky is the perfect Easter indulgence in a glass. This twist on a classic old fashioned takes a little longer to prepare but trust us, it's worth it.
Rhubarb and rose gin fizz
Swap orange blossom water for rose water in this ramos gin fizz twist and add a touch of homemade rhubarb syrup to give it a blush of pink. It’s delicate in flavour and creamy enough to replace dessert, and is bound to impress
Spiced sidecar
Bring the seasonal spice with this special sidecar recipe. Add some classic hot cross bun cinnamon spice to your glass and a touch of citrus zing with a squeeze of lemon juice.
