The Easter Bunny’s Jelly Bean Mocktail

Read Time: 1 minute
Amara Andrew- Easter Mocktail Recipe

Looking for a fun, last-minute, no-fuss Easter mocktail? Then, look no further! 🙂

While I’m not religious, I do enjoy creating themed food, drinks, and decor just for the holidays. I just find it super fun to work within a theme! Which is what lead me to create an Easter mocktail this year.

I have a full step-by-step video on YouTube for this mocktail if you’d rather listen along:

Enjoy your mocktail and have a happy holiday! 🙂

Easter Basket Mocktail Recipe

Description

The coconut/matcha rim for my Easter Basket mocktail is meant to be reminiscent of the grass normally found in Easter baskets! Jellybeans were always one of my favorite Easter candies, so that’s the flavor I was aiming to create in this mocktail!


Scale

Ingredients

For the rim:

  • ¼ cup unsweetened organic shredded coconut
  • ½ tsp. organic matcha
  • 1 organic lemon wedge

For the mocktail:

  • 1 ½ oz. raspberry simple syrup
  • 1 organic lemon, juiced
  • ½ cup water
  • 3–5 dashes Angostura orange bitters
  • Topo Chico

Instructions

  1. With your fingers, mix together the shredded coconut and matcha on a small plate.
  2. Run the lemon wedge around the rim of your martini glass. Roll in the coconut/matcha mixture to evenly coat. Set aside.
  3. Add 3 ice cubes to a cocktail shaker or glass mason jar.
  4. Add the raspberry simple syrup, lemon juice, water, and orange bitters to your shaker.
  5. Shake to combine.
  6. Strain over your prepared martini glass and then add a smidge of Topo Chico.
  7. Enjoy your Easter Basket mocktail! 🙂

The Hardest Part of Teaching is Saying ‘Goodbye’

Read Time: 3 minutes

“Congratulations and I truly hope the absolute best for all of you in the future. Ok, final sign off. Bye!”

I have just recorded the final video of my first semester of remote teaching.

I’ve just finished telling my first group of students that I am so incredibly proud of them, that I hope they have so much success in their lives, to turn in any late work, and to stay in touch.

I am sitting in my soft, caramel brown leather chair, still holding my smile. I’m still staring at the camera and the blinding lights. My smile, though, starts to quiver and my eyes begin to well up with tears.
