10 of the best gin cocktails for Easter

One of our favourite things about Easter is being able to shove mini eggs into our mouths without fear of judgement, and we know we’re not the only ones. The only issue with that is – there’s never any room for booze!
Get the best of both worlds with this delectable Mini Egg Martini – a sensational combination of gin, Baileys, mini eggs and creme de cacao, finished off with a crushed mini egg rim. Our mouths are watering already…

3. Lemon Drizzle Sling
If you don’t have time to bake over Easter or you simply can’t be bothered, why not infuse your cocktail with the flavours of (objectively) one of the best cakes out there?
With this very special recipe, we’ve combined gin with lemon curd and freshly squeezed lemon juice for that zesty hit, and added a drop of pineapple juice for a balance of sumptuous sweetness.

4. Rhubarb Aperol Spritz
We couldn’t have an Easter cocktails list without including everyone’s favourite spring veg, but we’ve doubled down and combined it with one of the most popular summer spirits as well!
This twist on a classic sunshine serve has all its famed flavour with a herbaceous hit from gin and rhubarb’s typical tartness. We can’t get enough of it and we know you won’t either!
