Easter cocktail recipes for bareboats
Move over mimosa! We’ve got some delightfully cheeky Easter-themed cocktails to tempt your taste buds this April. And the best part, is that they’re all easily made either by building or in a cocktail shaker. Which makes them perfect for your Easter bareboat holiday.
For the kids, have some chocolate or vanilla milk, and lemonade on hand, and mix them up a mocktail.

Strawberry Limoncello Spritzer
1-2 sliced strawberries
30ml limoncello liquor
Prosecco, Moscato or Champagne
Long strips of lemon zest
In champagne glasses, add the sliced strawberries. Pour limoncello over the berries, and then fill the remaining glass with the champagne. Top with a few strips of lemon zest.
Carrot “Juice”
1/3 carrot juice
2/3 prosecco
Carrot stems or parsley sprigs for garnish
Combine carrot juice and prosecco in a champagne flute and top with sprigs of carrot or parsley.
To get the carrot stems or parsley sprigs to stand upright in the glass, snip a paper straw to about two inches in length, slip two or three stems inside, and set in the champagne glass.
If you want to mix up some of these Easter cocktails on a bareboat, remember to bring your cocktail shaker set, or if you don’t have one of those, an everyday protein shaker will also do the job!
