‘Tis the season of Cadbury eggs, Essie pastel nails and friends complaining about what they gave up for Lent.

That’s right- Easter is upon us. Grocery stores have shed their Valentine’s Day chocolate boxes to make room for complete marshmallow delicacy, also known as Peeps.

Peeps are the cilantro of Easter candy – people either hate or love them. If you identify with the latter, then you’re in luck because the following five cocktails contain the perfect combination of alcohol and your beloved marshmallow creatures. So, get concocting and catch that bunny buzz.

If there’s one thing Vanderbilt students love, it’s Cabana’s rum punch. Why not add some Peeps to the punch party?

Medium

Prep Time: 3 minutes
Cook Time: n/a
Total Time: 3 minutes

Servings: 1 pitcher

Ingredients:
2 cups Malibu Rum
½ cup grenadine syrup
½ cup orange juice
½ cup pineapple juice
¼ cup lime juice
½ cup Sprite (optional)

Directions:
1. Mix the rum and syrup.
2. Add in orange and pineapple juice.
3. Add lime juice to taste and a splash of sprite for a bubbly beverage.
4. Because Rum punch is always a medley of different juices, accessorize the cocktail with 3 different colored Peeps – perhaps blue, pink, and yellow? The possibilities are endless because those Marshmallow treats come in almost every color these days.

Peeps are a staple of Easter baskets but who says they’re for kids only? These 5 cocktails prove that the infamous marshmallow treats go great with alcohol too.
