3 Hollow Chocolate Bunny Filled Cocktail Recipes For Easter

Don't you just love those adorable hollow chocolate bunnies that come out around Easter?  That was the one thing I ALWAYS looked forward to when Easter was approaching.

Now that you're an adult, you ever wish there was a little more to those bunnies?  Like alcohol?  

Believe it or not we only have 3 days left until Easter.

Anyone else think it's kind of funny that Easter and April Fools Day are the same day this year?

HAVE YOU SEEN THE MEMES??

You know like the ones where they remove the little chocolate eggs from the foil and wrap grapes in the foil instead?

OH, what about the one where they make "cake pops" out of brussel sprouts?  OMG!

We are hosting Easter this year and I am DYING to do something like that!  I know me........I totally won't do it, but the idea of wanting to cracks me up!

What's on the menu for Easter?

We're serving ham, mashed potatoes, creamed corn & brussel sprouts (hee hee).  We also have family bringing fresh sourdough bread, cauliflower and for dessert FLAN!!  

My Mother-in-law makes the BEST flan ever and I'm soooo excited that she's going to be making and bringing it on Sunday!!

Back to these little guys.

Did you know that they come in white chocolate and oreo cookies and cream?  WHAT?!?!  How fantastic is that!

I must admit, when I had to cut off their ears, I felt sad for them.......but then remembered that I'll be putting alcohol in them and then that feeling went away.

OFF WITH YOUR EARS!!

I've got to say, the line up of alcohol I had set out to make these three different recipes looked quite delicious....and quite a bit like I've got a problem, haha.  I was thinking, what if someone walked into my backyard while I had all of these bottles lined up....in the morning.

I got over it and mixed, shaked and poured my cocktails into these little guys.  

Although I do always wonder........what exactly they're looking at!

Here's a tip: Make sure your bunnies DON'T have any holes before pouring liquid into them.

First off was my chocolate bunny  I call this one:

One more thing.  Did you notice?  Did you notice that the chocolate bunny that I ended up with was not the same one I started with?

Yea it was a hot day and I turned around to fill him up and....

Tiramisu Martini

Tiramisu Martini

Tiramisu Martini is oh so delicious and the perfect cocktail to satisfy your sweet tooth!

Hey everyone!  

It's me.  

I am soooo excited to show you all this cocktail I just created!  

Soooo sooooo excited.  

Can you say chocolatey? (Side note, I'm not a huge chocolate fan...but this here cocktail, oh my!)  

Tiramisu is my husbands and my dessert.  Reason being is that when we went to Tahoe for a snowboarding trip all of those years ago, my husband proposed and for our engagement dessert they gave us a tiramisu.  

From then on, it has always held a very special place in my heart.

I know.........I know.........it's been a while since my last post.  A little bit over a month to be exact, but I will tell you it's been absolutely crazy around here.  

Anyone else have 4 kids in school ranging from a senior in high school (gasp.....I need to stop saying that out loud--maybe it won't be true) to a kindergartner?  

Between the 4 different times they are getting out of school to the four different levels of homework, throw in a couple different sports, trying to figure out college paths, second grade field trips.......you know what I'm going to stop right there or I might make myself another one of these SUPER DELICIOUS cocktails to drink.

It has definitely been a while since I have made a cocktail where I drizzle chocolate syrup inside of the glass.

I had forgotten how much fun it was to drink a cocktail like that!  I also rimmed the glass with chocolate syrup as well as cocoa powder.

Then it's just mixing the ingredients, shaking and straining.  Yup, it's THAT easy!

After that  you get to do the best part of making a cocktail, drink it!

Here is my recipe for a Tiramisu Martini:

I am soooo excited today!!  

Today, thanks to all of you out there, I have reached 1000 followers on my Pinterest page!!  

You are all amazing and I Thank You from the bottom of my heart!  

Guess what........my Facebook page is not too far behind with 960 Likes!!  Like I said, you all totally rock!!  OH OH and I created an awesome shirt and am selling them on Teespring, here's a link to check it out.  They're only available for 3 more days, so be sure to order them today!

Since I'm excited about it and it's been a loooong week (yes I know it's not over yet), I wanted to create something new for you all to try.  

Trust me, you'll WANT to try this!!  

I bought a bottle of Tres Leches liqueur a while back and besides having people sample it when they come over, I haven't made a cocktail with it.  I wanted to change that so I thought coffee sounded good with Tres Leches AND I WAS RIGHT!!  

This is soo delicious!  

If you have a bottle of each of these two simple ingredients, you will need to try this layered shooter.

This is a good start to my evening.  

After I finish cooking dinner and eating with the family, my husband and I are headed out to have a beer.......or two at our favorite local Irish Pub to celebrate my 1000 Pinterest followers.  Thanks to you all, I get to have a couple beers!  

If you have tried Tres Leches liqueur before and have some awesome cocktail recipes for me to try, I would love to hear about them!  Email me at cocktailady@gmail.com or you can use the contact form on the left hand side of this page!

Here is a photo of the end result:

Here is a photo of the ingredients:

Here is my recipe for Coffee and Tres Leches:

• 1 ounce Tres Leches Liquer
• 1/2 ounce Kahlua

In a shot glass, pour in the Kahlua.  Over the back of a spoon, layer the Tres Leches Liqueur.  Shoot and enjoy!

Here's to a long (almost over) week followed by a fantastic shooter!!

Cheers!!

Hi.....remember me?  

Has it REALLY been almost 3 (gasp) weeks since my last post?  

It has....oh my....I am soo sorry.  I had every intention to post last week.....then our oldest girl got a fever.  Then another week went by and here I am!

I wanted to give you all another fun Halloween cocktail to try.  

I (of course) had to use my black vodka in this one....can you tell I'm loving this vodka?  

This cocktail has a few delicious ingredients inside which make it an amazing cocktail!  

I have to admit......I haven't eaten as much as I should have today so I am a bit tipsy really feeling this cocktail.  

I have a couple friends coming over tonight, we will be working on one of their birthday invitations and I will be showing them how to put on Jamberry nails.  

Yea......I think that's why I have been not posting recently as well.  

I recently became an Independent Consultant for Jamberry Nails and .....Oh Em Gee........I love it!  If you have never tried these nail wraps, please let me know and I WILL send you out a sample to try.  

I joined because of how wonderful the company and fellow consultants are.  It's like a family and it is NOT one of those companies where they want your money and give you no support or help what so ever.  (OK I need to stop b/c I can, and will, go on and on and on and on about them).  Instead of my talking your ear off about them, please check out my site, tell me what you think.  Let me know if you have any questions or if you would like me to send you a sample!   Here is a link to my site check it out here. 

Onto the cocktail.

I think I will be making this cocktail for my friends who are coming over tonight, because I sure know that I want another one!  Here it is, another Cocktail Lady Invention!

Here is a photo of the final result:

Here is a photo of the ingredients:

Here is the recipe for a Mucky Slide:

• 1 ounce black vodka
• 1 ounce vanilla cinnamon Irish Cream Liqueur
• 1 ounce whipping cream
• 1 ounce Kahlua

In a shaker, add ice and all of the ingredients above.  Shake and strain into a martinin glass and enjoy!!

Here's to another delicious Halloween cocktail!

Cheers!!

Brave Bull

Happy National Tequila Day!!  

It's Thursday and today I feel like I "finally" was able to accomplish a lot of the stuff that I have wanted to do before the weekend.  

Don't get me wrong I still have a long list of stuff to do, but the stuff I have done was the BIG stuff, so yeay for a productive day!!

When most of us think "tequila" we think margaritas!!  

Well at least I do....  That is why I wanted to stray away from the margarita (and many delicious flavors they bring) and give you a different kind of tequila.  

WISH I HADN'T.  

This cocktail is NOT one that I would ever wish upon my enemy....ok, well.....maybe just to see their face when they drank it.  

If you don't know, I am NOT a tequila fan....at all.  

I can drink it in a mixed drink where the "main" flavor is NOT tequila, but I can not take a shot of it....at all.  

Bad experience in my younger years has ruined tequila for me, yuck!

This cocktail, if you haven't guessed already, is mostly a tequila tasting one.  

I really wish that the Kahlua had more presence in it, but it doesn't, boo.  

I wouldn't recommend it, but I'm sure there are those of you out there who really do enjoy tequila.....if you are a Brave enough Bull, go ahead and try it!  If you do, please let me know what you think of it!!

Here is a photo of the end result:

Here is a photo of the ingredients:

Here is the recipe for a Brave Bull:

• 2 ounces tequila (silver)
• 1 ounce Kahlua

In a short cocktail glass filled with ice, pour in your two ingredients, swirl and......try to enjoy?

Here's to National Tequila Day!  May your cocktails taste 1000% better then the one I just tried!!

Cheers!!

Flaming Orgasm

Last day of school, last day of school!!!  

Hip hip hooorayyy!!!  

This house was buzzing last night because our second oldest's last day of school is today!  

This morning I was still in bed and my son walks in, "Morning Mom!".  

I check the clock thinking I must have missed the alarm.....nope.  

I said, "Well you're up early.  Excited about your last day of school?"  

He said "YES!  I have been up since 6:20 this morning."  

Since it's a half day today.....let the summer begin!

I found a cocktail I wanted to make today on my Cocktails pinterest board.  

I was excited because I wasn't feeling "creative" enough to create one myself.  

I pulled out all of the ingredients and then went to the fridge to get the OJ.......nothing.  

Dang it.  

I searched and searched for another one.  

Nothing.  

Then I got to thinking of how much fun our Fireball shots were a few weeks ago.......and thought, what if I create something with Fireball??  

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!!  

Oh and I have added a bunch of items to my "The Cocktail Lady" store.  Check it out here.  I want to work on more designs soon and put them up there as well.  But for now, these are what I have.

Here is a photo of the end result:

Here is a photo of the ingredients:

Here is my recipe for a Flaming Orgasm:

• 1/2 ounce Irish Cream Liqueur
• 1/2 ounce Kahlua
• 1/2 ounce Fireball Whisky
• 1/2 ounce amaretto

In a shaker, add ice and all of the ingredients above.  Shake and strain into a shot glass and enjoy!!

To all of the Father's out there, I wish you all a very Happy Fathers Day!  Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Cheers!!
