So far this year the mixologists at BarWhiz have provided you a list of saintly drinks, from St. Valentine to St. Patrick, but today is all about Easter.
Easter is a Christian holiday that not only marks the end of lent, but also celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is also the time of year where children search for hidden chocolate eggs that where scattered around their homes by a magical bunny…
As for why bunnies became associated with Easter, just look no further than Christopher Moore’s satirical novel, Lamb. In his book, Moore’s character Joshua (Jesus) drunkenly gushes his affections for bunnies while at a wedding reception, declaring, “Henceforth and from now on, I decree that whenever something bad happens to me, there shall be bunnies around.” And that’s why we have the Easter Bunny.
From the walking dead to magical bunnies, Easter is one time of year that a tasty drink idea will be appreciated by all, and especially by those that gave up the drink as part of their Lenten sacrifice.
