Chocolate Bunny Easter Mocktail – 2 Ways!
Chocolate Bunny Easter Mocktail Ingredients
Each version of this mocktail is only 4 ingredients, not including the chocolate bunny. Keep reading for additional notes and potential substitutions.
- Hollow Chocolate Bunny: Choosing a quality chocolate bunny is so important. After all, they are the star of the show! I used Lindt chocolate bunnies because they are thick and the flavor is epic.
White Chocolate Bunny:
Dark or Milk Chocolate Bunny:
- Half and Half: See note above.
- Non Alcoholic Rum: A dark rum tastes best with espresso. I used Lyre’s Spiced Cane Spirit but also like Lyre’s Dark Cane Spirit too. Both are allergen free and low in calories.
- Espresso: Feel free to use your favorite brand. Make sure it is at room temperature before making your mocktail or it will melt your bunny.
- Simple Syrup: This is used to sweeten the mocktail. Feel free to use store bought or homemade.
Bar Equipment Needed
- Shaker Bottle: These are great for shaking up our mocktails and it makes pouring easier.
- Something Sharp: This is to carve a hole in the chocolate bunny. I used one of my metal cocktail pins but anything with a small, sharp tip would work.
- Small Funnel: To help us pour the mocktail into our bunnies without spilling. I love this 3 piece mini funnel set.
- Straws: I used standard sized paper straws. I did have to cut them down so they didn’t tower over my bunny.
How to Make a Chocolate Bunny Easter Mocktail
1. PREP THE CHOCOLATE BUNNY. Unwrap your hollow chocolate bunny and then use a small, sharp, metal object to poke a hole into it. Continue rotating and carving a hole into the top neck portion of the bunny until a small funnel will fit.
2. MAKE YOUR MOCKTAIL. In a cocktail shaker add the ingredients (from whichever mocktail you choose) and shake until smooth. Slowly pour into the funnel until the chocolate bunny is filled. Add a straw and sip!
Important Recipe Notes
INSPECT YOUR BUNNY! Funny story, I had a friend try this mocktail and there was a small hole in the base of her bunny. The mocktail spilled out EVERYWHERE when she started to pour it in! So, I cannot stress this enough, check your bunnies for small holes and cracks.
USE A FLAME. If you’re having a hard time carving out a hole in your chocolate bunny you can heat up your sharp object. Only do this with metal objects, and you can use the flame from a candle or from your stove. But you would be surprised how a little bit of heat can help speed up the process.
MAKE KID FRIENDLY VERSIONS. This recipe is written for adults but you can make it kid friendly by filling them with chocolate milk, orange soda, strawberry milk, root beer, or whatever you want. Technically kids can drink non alcoholic spirits but I like to think of them as something for adults only.
