A great alternative to the typical Mimosa. The refreshing Lavender Bellini will make you linger a little longer over your usual Sunday Brunch.

Think of it as your very own adult Easter Basket, but instead of being filled with candy, it’s filled with booze!
Prepare the glasses ahead of time and put them on a tray decorated with jelly beans and other seasonal delights for a stunning effect. Rim a martini glass with thick simple syrup, dip into dyed green coconut flakes & adorn with a little marshmallow peep.
For the cocktail:
* 1 1/2 ounces Cherry Vodka
* 1/2 ounce Triple Sec
* 3 ounces Half and Half or Milk
* Dash Grenadine
Shake with ice until chilled. Pour into decorated glasses and serve. (source)

This champagne cocktail becomes Irish with a splash of whiskey. Add some fresh pear juice and lemon, for the perfectly palatable and not too rough around the edges drink. If your hosting a St. Patricks get together with friend or just a pre-game at your place this will be perfect cocktail. Simple, festive, and just Irish enough. Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
