FAQ's
Can I substitute the Coffee Liqueur in the Easter Egg cocktail with something non-alcoholic?
Yes, for a non-alcoholic version of the Easter Egg cocktail, you can substitute the coffee liqueur with a coffee-flavored syrup or a concentrated cold brew coffee. Adjust the quantity based on your desired sweetness and coffee flavor intensity.
What's the best way to serve the Easter Egg cocktail to enhance its presentation?
