We couldn’t be more egg-cited that the bunny is back, but this year there’s no need for him to bring us chocolates or sweets. Instead, we’ll happily take a basket full of Barritt’s and a bottle of Tito’s wouldn’t hurt, too. Hop to it and put your Easter goodies to good use with these fresh and flavorful spring inspired cocktails.
