Easter inspired cocktails? Yes, please. Five drink ideas that will help you enjoy the long weekend ahead.
We don’t need an excuse to have a drink but the first spring bank holiday weekend is definitely a reason to celebrate.
We have all started to eat Easter chocolate weeks ago and the weekend ahead is already full of long family lunches and indulgent dinners with friends, but what should we be sipping while the Sunday roast cooks?
If you already love a classic margarita, an intense expresso martini and or funky spritz – you will probably find your new favourite cocktail in this list.
The long Easter weekend is finally here and we are getting ready to celebrate it – here are Stylist.co.uk favourite Easter-inspired cocktails.
