Notes

To Make the Thyme Syrup

Add 1 cup water, 1 cup honey, and 1 bunch of fresh thyme to a small saucepan over medium heat.
Stir until honey dissolves then bring to a boil.
Remove from heat and allow to cool fully then remove the thyme. Makes about 16 servings.

Preparation

For the garnish, pick mint leaves that are large and perky. They'll look like rabbit ears and create an Easter bunny cocktail vibe.

Modifications

To make a single serving Easter cocktail, add two ounces of carrot juice, two ounces pineapple juice, 1.5 ounce of vodka, one ounce thyme syrup, and juice of ¼ lemon to a cocktail shaker over ice. Shake until chilled then strain over fresh ice and top up with sparkling water.

Vodka is the liquor of choice here because it has a neutral flavor but the flavor profile of this drink actually works with several different spirits like gin, tequila, and rum.

Use any unflavored sparkling water or mineral water you like from whichever brand is available to you. Topo Chico, La Croix, Pellegrino, and Perrier or even a store brand all work.

If you want to make your Easter drinks non-alcoholic, just omit the vodka or use a spirit-free vodka alternative.
