Cocktail Society: Easter cocktails

Chocolate cocktail
Chocolate cocktail anyone?
Sunday, 17th April 2011
The term is over and the majority of The University of York students have migrated home to nurse their end of term hangovers, express shock at how little work they managed to do over the past ten weeks and reap the benefits of a centrally heated house and a fully stocked fridge/liquor cupboard.

Whether you have exams or assignments in for week one, I’m sure you’re all successfully avoiding doing any work and we at Cocktail Society are here to help your procrastination with a few Easter themed cocktails.

The Easter Bunny

Easter is a time for chocolate, lots and lots of chocolate. So why stop when pouring your drinks? This drink allows you to mix two of life’s pleasures – chocolate and cocktails!

  • three measures dark crème de cacao
  • one measure vodka
  • 1 tsp chocolate syrup (float on top)
  • 1 tsp cherry brandy (float on top)
  • ice cubes

Blue Cottontail

This bright blue cocktail is not only easy on the eyes, but it tastes pretty good as well!

  • one measure vodka
  • one measure triple sec
  • ½ measure Curacao

(And for those of you still recovering from The Willow dilute with lemonade).

Spring Fever

This one’s for those of you whose bank accounts are feeling a little worse for wear. It’s a simple and inexpensive, cocktail to make – but it still tastes good and definitely makes our top five for Easter!

  • one measure vodka
  • one measure white rum

Top it up with half orange Fanta and half Sprite.

April Showers

The weather may be nice for now, but we all know they’re coming. Here’s a drink to keep you warm during those rainy days.

  • one measure brandy
  • tsp Benedictine
  • crushed ice
  • mint leaves

Top it up with orange juice.

Egg Head

One for those of you who may actually be doing some revision! Take a break and kick back with this somewhat unusual cocktail – just add all the ingredients to a blender and blend till smooth.

  • one egg
  • one measure vodka
  • 4 measures orange juice
  • ice cubes

These cocktails sound delicious and better than mine:

- one small Easter egg- three Creme Eggs- 500 ml of vodka- crushed ice

Liquidise in large jug. Serves 4.
