How To Fill Your Adult Easter Basket

Adult Easter Basket

Easter is just around the corner, and that means easter egg hunts, chocolate bunnies and of course, an Easter basket. You know, kids stuff. But just because you’re all grown up, that doesn’t mean you have to deny yourself a fun-filled basket. And since you’re an adult, that basket can actually include adult things, and by adult things we of course mean wine, beer and spirits. And we have the ideal ingredients.

Żubrówka Bison Grass Vodka

Pronounced “zoo-broov-ka,” the grass flavor comes from an infusion of grass that is indigenous to the Białowieża Forest in Poland. And in addition to the delicious flavor it imparts, the grass also has medicinal properties, including being a pretty effective blood thinner.

Zinfandel

St. Germain

St.-GermainEaster means flowers, and there is no better floral liqueur out there than St. Germain. This delicious libation is infused with elderflowers to create a delicious liqueur that is delightful when combined with a bit of Champagne and a twist of lemon. It’s spring in a glass.

Marshmallow Vodka

Sauternes
