Equipment and Glassware

Making the Easter Spritz requires minimal tools, making it an easy and fun cocktail to prepare. A measuring jigger ensures precise portions of vodka and lime juice, while a stirring spoon helps blend the flavors smoothly. Serve this drink in a highball glass for a classic, refreshing presentation, or opt for a stemmed glass to elevate its festive charm. A cocktail pick or tongs can help place the Peep garnish securely, ensuring it stays in place as a cute finishing touch to this light and bubbly drink.

Ingredients

• 2 oz Peep-infused vodka*
• 0.25 oz lime juice
• Sprite to top
• Marshmallow Peep for garnish, optional

Peep-Infused Vodka

• Add 3–4 marshmallow Peeps to a jar with 8 oz of vodka.
• Let sit for 24 hours stirring occasionally.
• Strain before use.

Instructions

• Fill the Glass: Add ice to a highball or stemmed glass.
• Mix the Drink: Pour in Peep-infused vodka and fresh lime juice.
• Top with Sprite: Gently pour Sprite over the drink and stir lightly.

Pro Tips

• For a more flavorful Peep-infused vodka, let the marshmallow Peeps soak in the vodka for at least 24 hours before straining.
• If you prefer a less sweet drink, use club soda instead of Sprite or mix half Sprite with soda water.
• For an extra layer of flavor, rim the glass with vanilla sugar or add a splash of coconut water for a subtle tropical note.
• To make it even more festive, try serving it in pastel-colored glasses or adding edible glitter for a sparkling effect.

When to Serve

The Easter Spritz is the perfect cocktail for Easter brunches, spring gatherings, and themed parties. It’s a great choice for anyone looking to add a touch of fun and nostalgia to their holiday festivities. Serve it as a light, refreshing drink during daytime celebrations or as a playful pre-dinner cocktail. The bright flavors and cheerful garnish make it a fantastic drink for entertaining guests, whether you’re hosting a family-friendly Easter party or a springtime happy hour with friends.

Which Liquor Brands to Choose

To enhance the sweetness and smoothness of this cocktail, choose a high-quality vodka such as Tito’s, Absolut, or Grey Goose for a clean, neutral base. If you want a slightly flavored vodka to complement the Peep infusion, try Smirnoff Vanilla or Pinnacle Whipped. Sprite is the go-to mixer for a sweet and bubbly touch, but for a less sugary alternative, opt for Fever-Tree’s premium lemon-lime soda. No matter your choice, using fresh lime juice and quality vodka will ensure a well-balanced, deliciously festive Easter Spritz.
