Easter is a time for resurrection and rebirth, and what better way to celebrate than with a classic cocktail? The Cherry Sazerac is a perfect choice for Easter brunch or dinner.
This whiskey and cognac cocktail originated in New Orleans, and it features bittersweet flavors that are reminiscent of the holiday.
We added a little maraschino cherry juice to this cocktail for a little fruity sweetness. If you're looking for the best cocktails for Easter, the Cherry Sazerac is a great option to serve your family and friends.
