Set your Easter brunch apart with this pastel hued cocktail
LALO Tequila

Easter is time for pastel shades, and there's no cocktail ingredient more suited to that than Creme de Violette. It's one of those ingredients that can make a stunning addition to a cocktail, but needs to be used with care. It's most famously used in the Aviation, a drink which can have a stunning pale blue or pale violet color depending on the brand of Creme de Violette that's used. I have had magnificent Aviations -- and yes, the striking color is absolutely part of the appeal -- but I've also had ones which taste like swallowing a flower bed. That's Creme de Violette for you!

The art to using it well, in my experience, is to be very sparing with it. Half an ounce is quite enough to give a drink that violet flavor and color, though if you really love your florals then you could opt for more. You also want to use bold, flavorful other ingredients that can stand up to the strong taste of violet. Lemon juice is a traditional pairing too, to give a sharper edge to a drink.

Give your iced coffee a cheeky boozy strawberry twist
Small strawberries in container

If you love to sip on an iced coffee in the afternoon and you also love to make cocktails, this is a combination you shouldn't miss out on. Iced coffee is great for mixing into cocktails thanks to its robust, bitter flavor that melds well with spirits and other boozy ingredients. When you're working with coffee, one important trick is to use a stronger brew than you usually would for sipping alone, especially for ingredients like cold brew. While you might want a more mellow version of cold brew to drink on its own, when using it in cocktails it's helpful to have some extra punch, so brew it strong!

Another way to play with coffee in your drinks is to use a coffee liqueur like Mr Black. The Mr Black team recently came up with a delicious iced coffee-inspired recipe, using strawberries and cream for a taste of summer. This sweet, boozy take on the iced coffee would be the perfect cheeky afternoon treat for a lazy weekend.
