Equipment

  • Cocktail shaker with strainer
  • - Jigger or measuring tool
  • - Martini glass, coupe, or rocks glass
  • - Bar spoon (for drizzling chocolate syrup)
  • - Knife and grater (for chocolate shavings, if using)

Ingredients
  

  • Serves 1
  • - 1 ½ oz Baileys Irish Cream adds creamy sweetness
  • - 1 oz vodka provides a clean, boozy punch
  • - 1 oz chocolate liqueur Godiva or Crème de Cacao work well
  • - **1 oz milk or half-and-half for richness; substitute with almond milk for dairy-free
  • - Whipped cream for topping
  • - Chocolate shavings or mini chocolate eggs for garnish
  • - Chocolate syrup optional, for drizzling
  • - Ice for shaking

Instructions
 

  • Prep Your Glass
  • Start by drizzling chocolate syrup along the inside of your glass for a decorative touch. Swirl the glass to create streaks, then place it in the freezer for 2 minutes to set (this keeps the syrup from melting into the drink).
  • Shake the Cocktail
  • Fill a shaker halfway with ice. Add Baileys, vodka, chocolate liqueur, and milk. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds—until the shaker feels frosty. This chills the drink and creates a silky texture.
  • Assemble with Flair
  • Remove your glass from the freezer. Strain the cocktail into the glass, leaving room for toppings. Add a generous swirl of whipped cream (use a piping bag for a polished look).
  • Garnish Generously
  • Sprinkle chocolate shavings over the whipped cream and tuck a few mini eggs into the cream for a festive finish. Add a final drizzle of chocolate syrup if desired.
  • Serve Immediately
  • Pair with a straw or a petite spoon for scooping the toppings. Enjoy chilled!
  • Variations & Twists
  • - Dairy-Free: Use almond milk and coconut whipped cream.
  • - Extra Chocolatey: Replace vodka with chocolate vodka or add ½ oz dark crème de cacao.
  • - Coffee Lover’s Version: Add ½ oz coffee liqueur (e.g., Kahlúa) for a mocha twist.
  • - Non-Alcoholic: Substitute Baileys with Irish cream syrup, vodka with vanilla extract, and chocolate liqueur with chocolate syrup.

Notes

Pro Tips for Success  
- Chill Your Glass: A frosty glass keeps the drink colder longer.  
- Quality Ice: Use fresh, dense ice to prevent over-dilution.  
- Layer Flavors: Let the chocolate syrup set in the glass before adding the cocktail to maintain distinct layers.  
- Fresh Garnishes: Shave chocolate from a bar (not pre-packaged shavings) for the best texture.  
How to Serve  
The Drunk Bunny shines as an after-dinner drink or Easter brunch companion. For a themed party:  
- Set up a DIY garnish bar with sprinkles, caramel sauce, and flavored whipped creams.  
- Pair with desserts like flourless chocolate cake or vanilla bean shortbread.  
- Serve in mini portions as part of a cocktail flight for tasting.
