Ingredients

What you'll need to make this drunk bunny recipe:
- 1¾ cups of premade old-fashioned lemonade
- 3 ounces of white rum
- 2 tablespoons of strawberry daiquiri mixer
- Ice for the glasses
- Garnish: Yellow or Pink PEEPS Bunny candy, fresh lemon slices & fresh strawberries
Pro Tip
If you like your cocktails slightly sweeter, you can add a teaspoon or two of simple syrup or light agave syrup to your individual drinks. These can just be stirred right into your drinks as they dissolve quickly.
Granulated sugar does not work as well because it does not dissolve well in cold beverages.

How to Make a Drunk Bunny Easter Cocktail
Grab your chocolate bunny and get ready to make this fun Easter drink! Follow along with our pictures and step-by-step instructions below. Check out the tips and tricks to make sure your drink turns out perfect. Let’s get started!
FIRST STEP: Add the lemonade, white rum, and strawberry daiquiri mixer to a cocktail shaker or a large mason jar with a lid.
Shake well for about 30 seconds to combine.

Pro Tip
I like to keep the frozen Bacardi mixers stocked in my freezer so that I can make a cocktail at a moment’s notice.
Once you open the container, transfer the remaining thawed strawberry daiquiri mixer to a jar with a tight-fitting lid and store it in your refrigerator for up to two weeks. Mason jars work great for this.
SECOND STEP: Fill your cocktail glass three-quarters full with ice and pour eight ounces of the drunk bunny cocktail into each glass.

Pro Tip
If you do not like ice in your cocktail glass, you can add it to your cocktail shaker or large mason jar and then strain your drunk bunny drink into your individual glasses, leaving the ice in the shaker.
THIRD STEP: Garnish your glasses with sliced strawberry and lemon inside the drink and a PEEPS bunny on the rim.

Recipe FAQ
Can I use a different type of chocolate bunny?
Yes, you can use a white or dark chocolate bunny. White chocolate makes it extra sweet, while dark chocolate adds a rich, bold taste.
What’s the best way to pour the ingredients into the bunny?
Cut a small opening in the ears, then slowly pour in the vodka and Irish cream. A funnel helps keep things neat.
How do I keep the bunny from leaking?
Make sure the base is solid and level. If cracks form, melt a little chocolate and seal them before pouring in the drink.
Can I make this cocktail ahead of time?
No, this drink works best when made fresh. The chocolate can melt or break if it sits too long.
How strong is this cocktail?
Drunk Bunny has a smooth but boozy kick. You can add more or less vodka to adjust the strength to your liking.
Can I use a different type of alcohol?
Yes, swap vodka for bourbon, rum, or even flavored liqueurs. Each choice brings a new depth to this fun Easter drink.

Serving FAQ
What’s the best way to serve a Drunk Bunny cocktail at a party?
Serve each chocolate bunny on a small plate or in a glass to prevent spills. Hand out straws for easy sipping.
Should I serve a Drunk Bunny drink cold or at room temperature?
Serve it cold for the best taste. Chill the vodka and Irish cream beforehand, or add ice to the mix before pouring.
How do I keep the chocolate bunny from melting too fast?
Keep the bunnies in the fridge until serving. Avoid placing them in direct sunlight or near warm surfaces.
Can I serve this drink with a spoon instead of a straw?
Yes, a spoon works great! As the chocolate melts, scoop up the pieces for an extra sweet treat.

A medium-sized hollow bunny works best. A smaller bunny holds less liquid, while a large one might be too fragile.

Drunk Bunny Easter Cocktail
Ingredients
- 1¾ cups premade old-fashioned lemonade (I get mine from my grocery store deli)
- 3 ounces white rum (also known as silver or clear rum – I used Bacardi Superior brand)

- yellow or pink PEEPS Bunny candy (garnish)
- fresh lemon slices & fresh strawberries (garnish)
- Ice (for the glasses)
DIRECTIONS
- In a cocktail shaker or a large mason jar with a lid, add the lemonade, white rum, and strawberry daiquiri mixer. Shake well for about 30 seconds to combine.
- Fill your cocktail glass ¾ full with ice and pour 8 ounces of the drunk bunny cocktail into each glass.
- Garnish your glasses with sliced strawberry and lemon inside of the drink and a PEEPS bunny on the rim.

- If you like your cocktails slightly sweeter, you can add a teaspoon or two of simple syrup or light agave syrup to your individual drinks. These can just be stirred right into your drinks as they dissolve quickly. Granulated sugar does not work as well because it does not dissolve well in cold beverages.
- You can make a larger batch of this cocktail ahead of time and store it in a pitcher until ready to serve individual drinks. You will need to double or triple the recipe according to the number of drinks you want to serve. Do not add the ice until you are ready to drink, as it will dilute your drunk bunny cocktail as the ice melts.
- I like to keep the frozen Bacardi mixers stocked in my freezer so that I can make a cocktail at a moment’s notice. Once you open the container, you can transfer the remaining thawed strawberry daiquiri mixer to a jar with a tight-fitting lid and store it in your refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
