A chocolate bunny cocktail that is fit for Easter or spring sipping! A chocolate bunny serves as the perfect vessel for drinking this chocolatey, tropical tipple out of. Turns out, hollow chocolate bunnies are not rip offs and are meant to be edible mugs! If Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory had a bar, you can bet that he would serve cocktails in these Chocolate Bunny cocktail mugs.
The Easter Island cocktail is in honor of my mom who would ALWAYS eat the ears off my chocolate Easter bunny, I never knew what the ears tasted like my whole childhood! This cocktail is a chocolatey tropical drink that will whisk-er you away to a island, Although it has chocolate liqueur, the lemongrass and makrut lime leaves add a citrusy tropical flavor to the drink that keeps it from going down too far down road of dessert drink. Make this Chocolate Bunny cocktail mug for serving all of your spring cocktails for a touch of whimsy!

I wanted to make these, but the only hollow rabbits I could find are the little Lindt ones. Where did you get yours?
Hey there!
I got my bunny at Walgreens, I do not remember the brand though! Are you able to find any online?
