Hop to a festive celebration with these Easter themed cocktails

While the kids might be craving all the candy in that Easter basket, adults might prefer a different holiday treat. These Easter themed cocktails from Sammy’s Beach Bar Platinum Rum are a hopping good time for the celebration.

Although the weather can be unpredictable on Easter weekend, some people can dream of warm, sunny days. A tropical inspired cocktail can be that burst of sunshine to make the holiday a little brighter.

Whether the holiday gathering is a celebratory brunch or a hearty dinner buffet, a festive libation can make the event even more festive.  But, that beverage needs to be able to pair with anything and everything that is served on the table.

Mint forward cocktails are a great choice for Easter gatherings. Whether the meal is a traditional ham dinner or even a rack of lamb, the bright, refreshing flavors can cut through the richness of the meal. The flavor seems to offer a promise of sunny Spring days ahead.
