poppy Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 I am hosting. We usually do a theme drink. What would be a nice one for Easter? It will be chilly here. But I'd still like a spring theme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Mimosas seem springlike to me. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoobie Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 https://www.google.com/amp/www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/minted-vodka-lemonade-200581/amp I made it as is once, and it was very good. Then I followed a comment and used Minute Maid concentrate, and I served it half and half with seltzer water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiara.I Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Something with elderflower liqueur! Maybe LaRosette? St. Germain has several suggestions on their website. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spryte Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Do you have sweet woodruff? Ours is ready early this year, so you could do a May Bowl punch. http://www.food.com/recipe/may-wine-punch-with-sweet-woodruff-mai-bowle-458379 I like the vodka lemonade linked above, or mimosas would be classic. I've been making raspberry lemon drops lately, something like that might be good, too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK_Mom4 Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Easter = Margaritas. Especially Raspberry or Strawberry margaritas served with deviled eggs and smoked salmon Ok... so maybe our traditions here are a little different than most, but it's been a long winter...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KungFuPanda Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 I'd do mimosas with different colored juices . . . Maybe one of those blends, or a spoked sherbet punch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bibiche Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Don't know how they taste, but these two are pretty colors: Easter egg blue cocktail 6 cl gin 2 cl blue curaçao 1 cl lime juice lime slices Mix the liquids, strain, pour into glasses garnished with lime slices and ice cubes. Raspberry Cocktail 125 g fresh raspberries 25 cl Vodka (Absolut Raspberri) 10 cl simple syrup 10 ice cubes zest from 2 limes 25 cl champagne Puree (or muddle) the raspberries, put in shaker with vodka, simple syrup, and lime zest and ice cubes. Shake vigorously, strain into 6 glasses which you then top off with champagne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol in Cal. Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 (edited) Orange blossom punch-- One liter of ginger ale, one liter of orange juice, 1/4 cup cherry juice or grenadine. Mix right before serving, add one pint of lemon sherbet (fat free is fine), serve in a punch bowl ideally with a big ice ring (freeze water in a ring cake pan). Or, mint juleps. Or, mojitos. I think Sangria is more summer like than spring like, but wow, just today I had some simply made from a Kirkland Sangria mix (comes in a wine bottle looking container) and ginger ale, with ice, blackberries, blueberries, and strawberries that was awfully good.

RioSamba Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 I like to make Rosemary's Pink Diamond Fizz, but I use pink champagne. My grandmother Rosemary loved pink, loved diamonds, and loved champagne, so it's a family favorite for many reasons. http://www.finecooking.com/drink-recipes/rosemary-pink-diamond-fizz-cocktail.aspx If the weather is warm, I like to make a champagne punch like this one: http://www.beautyfrosting.com/tag/pink-champagne-cocktails Mimosas are expected. My other grandmother loves variations with pomegranate, and DH and I like elderflower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
