A novelty egg isn't the only way to get your chocolate fix this Easter. Gin or rum lover, we've got some delicious grown-up treats for you to saviour all weekend long.
Mad City Chocolate Mojito
Chocolate and mint are a classic combo. There's a reason for that, these two ingredients are dynamite together. If you want a seasonal and refreshing drink with a subtle chocolate twist, this one is for you.
Ingredients
50ml Mad City Rum
30ml Crème de Cacao Blanc
20ml Lime juice
Tonic water
Mint
Method
Muddle mint in bottom of glass and add ice.
Shake everything together in a cocktail shaker (or jam jar) apart from tonic water.
Pour over ice.
Top with tonic water.
Garnish with lime wheel.
HYKE Martini
Whilst gin and chocolate may sound like an adventurous pairing, the dry earthy chocolate notes of the cacao are perfectly paired against the green and black cardamom, rooibos, cumin and anise botanicals that are present in HYKE. Once the salty sherry joins the mix, you get an incredibly moreish and smooth martini variation for Easter indulgence.
Ingredients
60ml HYKE Gin
15ml Crème de Cacao Blanc
15ml Amontillado Sherry
Lemon Zest
Green Olive
Method

Stir down the HYKE Gin, Crème de Cacao Blanc and Amontillado Sherry with ice. Strain into the martini glass.
Squeeze lemon zest on top and garnish with a green olive.
HYKE Orange G&T with Rosemary
HYKE Signature Series Orange is a tasty switch this Spring. Its enticing natural, dry citrus flavour has a zesty sharpness that blends perfectly with the botanicals to give a delicate spiced flavour. Add a sprig of rosemary and enjoy over a long Easter lunch.
