Hey Mommas! Happy Good Friday to ya! Are you looking forward to Easter weekend? Hard to believe Easter is already here! Easter is extra exciting at my house this year because Mr. Mojito's birthday falls on Easter this year! (Fun Fact: Mr. Mojito is actually younger than I am...only by about 4 months but he still calls me a cougar going after a younger man! Lol!)
Easter Sunday is supposed to be super cold and yucky here this year! Ugh, I'm sure you can feel me rolling my eyes through the screen. So. tired. of. the. cold. weather. Come out Sun and stay a while for goodness' sake! So, because of Easter falling on the same day as Mr. Mojito's birthday and then adding in a million other things going on here at Momma Mojito and of course just the day-to-day rush of mom life...I am exhausted. Like seriously, seriously exhausted. I just want to take a nap. But there's too much to do soooo I've been exploring new ways to lessen my load and focus on more fun stuff (like making cocktails!!). One of my favorite time-savers is Wal-Mart's pickup grocery option. I do absolutely all of my grocery shopping on my phone and pull up to Wal-Mart and let them load it all up for me. SO awesome! I'm constantly trying to find little ways to make my life just a little bit easier, so when I found out that I could pay people to fill Easter eggs and hide them around my yard for me....ummm YES please! I love living in a city where there's so many amenities. Call me a city girl all you want, but I quite like my options thank you! So for this year's Easter, I'm taking the easy route and letting people help me a bit. Less work for me equals less stress. And let's be honest-- when Momma is happy, the whole family is happy. Know what goes great with your stress-free Easter weekend? My Bunny Punch!! ;) This may be my favorite themed cocktail yet! It is oh so good and oh so easy!! Plus, if you're pregnant, nursing, or you just want to make it a family-friendly drink, then that's no problem. Just leave out the booze and replace it with Sprite! It's still a delicious punch that everyone will love!
So here it is mommas! I can't wait to hear how you all like this recipe, so let me know in the comments below how it turns out for you! Cheers and Happy Easter! :)
xo, Momma Mojito

MOMMA MOJITO'S BUNNY PUNCH (can be multiplied for a crowd!)
Ingredients:
- 2 oz. Cake-Flavored Vodka, Vanilla-Flavored Vodka, or Just Plain Vodka (optional--if omitting the booze then I recommend replacing with Sprite!)
- 5 oz. Chilled Raspberry Lemonade (I used Simply brand)
- 2 oz. Chilled Pineapple Juice
- Chilled Club Soda to Taste
- 1 Scoop of Rainbow Sherbet (I used Bluebell)
- 1 Bunny Peep (any color)
- Pink Sanding Sugar or Sprinkles of Your Choice
Directions:
Dip the rim of a glass of your choice in water lightly and press into the Pink Sanding Sugar or Sprinkles to coat the rim of the glass. Now fill with ice if desired. This step is not necessary if you have all your ingredients thoroughly chilled! Next, add Vodka, Lemonade, and Pineapple Juice to the glass. Stir. Fill to the top with Club Soda. Now add a scoop of Rainbow Sherbet (yum!). Lastly, cut a small notch in the bottom of your Peep and place on the rim of the glass. Cheers and Happy Easter!!
