Easter Favorites

I love Easter for so many reasons – new beginnings, resurrection, and all the hope that the spring season brings. Today I’m sharing some of my current Easter favorites!

My first favorite is the new wreath I designed for our front door. I opted for an ombré look with the flowers, then added in Easter ribbon and a moss-covered bunny. I’m loving how it welcomes guests to our home, and I think the shadow of it from the inside is fun too!

My next favorite for Easter is this little Easter treat tray using a ceramic egg holder. Perfectly portioned Easter candy for a night in! I’m partial to the Robin’s Eggs whoppers. What’s your Easter candy of choice?

Another Easter favorite is our Easter table. This is a remake of an Easter table from a couple years ago, and it was such a favorite then that I had to recreate it. And I’m feeling extra happy because our local grocery store now carries ranunculus bouquets so they took the table to the next level!

And of course I have to have an Easter cocktail to add to my list of favorites! This Lillet Rose cocktail is delicious, and will be perfect for Easter Brunch and every other brunch all spring long.

Here’s the recipe:

2 oz. Lillet Blanc
1 oz. Gin (our favorite is Tanqueray Rangpur)
1 oz. fresh squeezed grapefruit juice
Sparkling rosé
Edible flower and grapefruit slice for garnish

Mix Lillet, gin, and grapefruit juice in a cocktail shaker over ice. Strain into glass (for this cocktail, I think a coupe glass is best and these are my fave!). Top with sparkling rosé. Garnish and serve. Cheers!

My favorite tip for this cocktail is if you’re just making a few cocktails (3 or 4) buy a can of sparkling rosé so you don’t have to worry about it going flat. One can = one half bottle.

And I’ll round out my list of Easter favorites with these beautiful cherry blossoms I spotted in our neighborhood this week. A sure sign of spring!
