The Best Easter Tequila Cocktails
1. Strawberry Pink Peppercorn Margaritas
After the Easter egg hunts are over, give Easter brunch a little attitude. Strawberry peppercorn margaritas deliver spice and sass. Add a couple ounces of club soda to give it fizz.
2. Prune Jamaica Cordial
Forget sugary spring cocktails. Prune Jamaica cordial brings a mysterious twist, making your drinks the ultimate conversation starter. Serve straight or in a champagne flute topped sparkling wine to make a spritz.
3. Spicy Raspberry Margarita
Sweet raspberry simple syrup meets fiery spice… this margarita’s got personality! Muddle some jalapeño slices in the shaker and rim the glass with Tajín for extra kick.
4. La Mulita
Hold the vodka! Tequila’s partnering with ginger beer (or you could use ginger ale) giving the classic Moscow Mule a kick. Be sure to add lots of fresh mint sprigs. Your cocktail shaker won’t know what hit it.
5. Ranch Water
Forget Easter candy! This year, I’m putting the classic cocktail Ranch Water in my adult Easter basket. Refreshing, zesty, and way classier than Peeps.
6. Strawberry Hibiscus Paloma
Who needs chocolate Easter eggs? This Strawberry Hibiscus Paloma is sweet, tart with fresh grapefruit juice, and way more sophisticated.

Ditch the mimosa! Morning margaritas are the bolder, tastier way to start your day. This tasty cocktail is the perfect balance of springtime flavors like orange juice, tequila, and creme de cassis.
8. Honey Grapefruit Margarita
Move over, Bloody Marys! Honey grapefruit margaritas are the perfect way to start your brunch with a zesty, refreshing kick. Sweet honey syrup, tart, and packed with fresh fruit – it’s basically a healthier cocktail! 😉

Sparkling blood orange margaritas with sparkling blood orange juice and a splash of orange liqueur like Grand Marnier (or triple sec) are the classier, tastier, and better way to celebrate this time of year.
13. Tangerine Thyme Margaritas
Tangerine thyme margaritas bring a pop of citrusy goodness to your Easter table. This festive drink is a combination of fresh lime juice, tangerine juice, thyme syrup, and tequila. It’s a unique and refreshing twist on those sugary Easter cocktails – your guests will love it!
14. Tequila Sunrise
Move over, Easter bunnies and sugary cocktails! The classic tequila sunrise gets an upgrade with its vibrant colors, sweet-tart flavors, homemade grenadine and tequila kick. It’s the perfect cocktail to celebrate the morning (strain into a martini glass), and one of the tastiest and most delicious Easter cocktails ever.
