Easter Bunny cocktail
Our Easter Bunny cocktail recipe uses creme de cacao liqueur mixed with vanilla vodka. The cocktail takes up a pretty, seasonal look with the addition of the chocolate syrup and the tart cherry brandy float.
The Easter Bunny cocktail is not one of the official IBA cocktails, so the recipe is not standardised and can vary a bit.
The sweet mix of Easter Bunny cocktail can also be served in a hollow chocolate Easter Bunny and consumed with a straw if you fancy some extra luxury and sweetness (oh and the calories!).

FAQ
Is creme de cacao the same as Baileys?
No, crème de cacao (like all crème liqueurs) uses sugar to thicken, whereas Baileys (as used in the popular White Russian cocktail and Mudslide cocktail recipes) and other cream liqueurs use dairy cream to thicken.
What glass should the Easter Bunny cocktail be served in?
It’s usually served in a stemmed cocktail or martini glass, which suits its dessert-like nature.
Is the Easter Bunny cocktail strong?
Not especially – it’s more of a sweet, creamy after-dinner drink than a hard-hitting cocktail.
Can I make it dairy-free?
Yes, swap cream for a plant-based alternative such as oat or almond cream.
What cocktails are similar?
Fans of dessert-style cocktails might also enjoy the Brandy Alexander, Mudslide, or White Russian.
