Imagine sipping on a spiked chocolate truffle. That’s The Drunk Bunny.

Step 1: Fill the Shaker
Start by filling your cocktail shaker halfway with ice.

Step 3: Shake Well
Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 10 to 15 seconds until well-chilled and lightly frothy.

What to Serve with the Drunk Bunny
This cocktail pairs well with all kinds of Easter treats, sweet or savory! Here are a few of my favorites:
- Mini carrot cake cupcakes with cream cheese frosting
- White chocolate-dipped strawberries with pastel sprinkles
- Chocolate chip cookies or peanut butter eggs
- Hot cross buns for a spiced, sweet bite to balance the drink
- Deviled eggs or savory puff pastry bites (because balance, right?)
Tips for Cocktail Success
- Chill your glass before pouring to keep the drink colder longer.
- Don’t over-shake or it can water down the richness.
- Use quality liqueurs – it makes all the difference in flavor.
- Garnish like you mean it – this is a holiday drink! Whip cream mountains are encouraged.
How to Store Leftovers
This cocktail is best enjoyed fresh, but if you need to prep ahead:
- Store in a sealed jar or container in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
- Shake again with ice before serving to revive that creamy texture.
- Don’t freeze – cream-based drinks don’t freeze well and can separate.
FAQs About the Drunk Bunny Easter Cocktail
Can I make this non-alcoholic?
Absolutely! Swap the Baileys and chocolate liqueur for chocolate milk or a mix of milk and chocolate syrup. Add a splash of vanilla extract for depth.
Can I batch this cocktail for a party?
Yes, yes, yes! Multiply the ingredients based on how many servings you need and mix everything in a pitcher. When it’s time to serve, just shake individual portions with ice for best results.
Is it super sweet?
Surprisingly, no. It’s sweet enough to feel like dessert, but the balance of cream and alcohol keeps it from being cloying.
What if I don’t have Baileys?
You can use any Irish cream liqueur or even try a coffee liqueur like Kahlua. The taste will shift a bit, but it’s still delicious.
Can I make it ahead of time?
You can mix everything except the whipped cream and garnish ahead. Store it in the fridge and shake with ice before serving.
