Here Comes Peter Cottontail Cocktail

Start your Easter brunch off with Here Comes Peter Cottontail, a refreshing cocktail or mocktail bursting with bright notes of strawberry, lemongrass, and grapefruit. But the flavor experience doesn’t stop there. Vallozzi’s mixologists, Laura Karner and Stephanie Yarup, added more to the drink. “We immediately wanted to make a fun cotton candy cocktail when we heard our assigned line was ‘Here Comes Peter Cottontail.’ To welcome spring, we wanted a bright sangria with plenty of fruit and botanicals.” They complete their drink with pure fun: a puff of cotton candy garnish goes in the glass before you pour the cocktail. Plus, you can be just as fancy with your mocktail if that’s what you prefer.

What is Domaine de Canton in This Cocktail?

Domaine de Canton is the original ginger liqueur using only the finest ingredients. To start, the company farms ginger from Asia before hand-cutting it, rinsing it, and letting it dry for several days after. From here, hand-picked vanilla beans and honey stir into the recipe for a little bit of sweetness to balance out the sharp burst of ginger.
