Our Best Easter Cocktails

Easter is a time of renewal, fun, and indulgence, and what better way to celebrate than with a collection of unique, refreshing Easter themed cocktails? At HM Gin we love what we do, and we never miss an opportunity to celebrate with a gin. This season, we’ve shaken up our approach and crafted six distinct recipes that showcase the diverse range of our gins. Whether you’re hosting an intimate brunch or a lively gathering, these Easter cocktail recipes are sure to impress.

1. Easter Sour

This Easter cocktail recipe made the top spot on our best Easter cocktails list because it’s simple, classic and mighty refreshing! The Hot Cross Bun Gin’s spicy sweet blend perfectly combines with the tart and silky flavours of a gin sour. A warning, it’s so good it’s challenging to stop at just one – a great cocktail to cheers with this Easter.

3. Hot Cross Bun Gin Spritz

We love a gin spritz at HM Gin and this Easter cocktail recipe was designed to showcase all the traditional hot cross bun flavours of our HM Hot Cross Bun Gin as a spritz cocktail.

In this Easter cocktail we use the sweet citrus of Cointreau and the dryness of Prosecco to balance all flavours. This Hot Cross Bun Gin Spritz Easter cocktail recipe is the perfect way to celebrate the April month, hence why it made our list of best Easter cocktails in Australia.

Recommend HM Gin: HM Hot Cross Bun Gin

Recipe:

  • 30ml HM Hot Cross Bun Gin
  • 15ml Cointreau (if you want to reduce the volume of alcohol, swap for orange juice)

  • 10ml Sugar syrup
  • 30ml Soda water (or to your liking)
  • Lots of ice
  • Orange slice and cinnamon stick to garnish

Preparation:

  1. To a wine glass with ice add gin, Cointreau (orange juice), sugar syrup and then stir to combine.
  2. Add your orange slice and cinnamon stick garnish.
  3. Pour in Prosecco and top with soda water. Give your spritz a light stir.
  4. Enjoy.

4. Gin Easter Mule

At HM Gin we believe the Gin Mule is perfect at any time of the year. Based on the traditional Moscow Mule cocktail, we normally make our Gin Mule’s with HM Woodcutter Gin but to spice things up over Easter we are subbing out the Woodcutter to replace it with our HM Hot Cross Bun Gin. 

Recommended HM Gin: HM Woodcutter Gin or HM Hot Cross Bun Gin

Recipe:

  • 45ml HM Woodcutter Gin or Hot Cross Bun Gin
  • 15ml Fresh lime juice
  • 10ml Sugar syrup
  • 2 mint sprigs
  • 90ml Ginger beer
  • Lime wedge to garnish

Preparation:

  1. To a cocktail shaker with ice, add all your ingredients expect the ginger beer. 
  2. Shake and double strain into a glass with ice. Recommend using a collins glass.
  3. Garnish lime and any mint you have left over.
