Forget the Easter eggs this weekend and indulge in an adult celebration featuring beer, spirits and even a sparkling wine filled with chocolatey goodness.

Manly Spirits Company’s limited-edition Eggspresso Martini blends rich dark cocoa chocolate with smooth white chocolate, together with a bold pour of its signature vodka and a hit of espresso from Seven Miles Coffee Roasters, finished with a dash of cinnamon and vanilla.

Fossey’s Distillery has created hot cross bun deliciousness by using spices such as nutmeg and cinnamon with a subtle sweet caramel to create an its Hot Cross Bun Liqueur. A drink best served neat over ice. 

Bridge Road Brewers has released Eggster, a big, rich triple chocolate ale. To keep things exceedingly festive the brewer has made 24 different foil labels so each case is prepped for the ultimate Easter Egg hunt.

Pirate Life Brewing has released its limited edition Choc Chip Hot Cross Bun Pastry Stout. Using the brewery’s classic mosaic hops, the 9.5% stout has been brewed with six malt variants and a sprinkling of oat. The pastry flavour is then layered with orange zest, cinnamon and allspice to make the stout taste and smell like Easter morning.

Chocolate in a Bottle, a French Sparkling Blanc de Blancs wine infused with the essence of Belgian chocolate and hazelnut, recently arrived in Australia. 

The sparkling wine was a unique creation by Flemish sommelier Tom De Bruyn, who collaborated closely with a skilled winemaker near Perpignan in the South of France, and together they meticulously crafted this luxurious beverage. Grapes grown in sandy and slate-rich terroirs undergo traditional vinification before being infused with the essence of Belgian chocolate and hazelnut extract. 

The result is a wine with a palate where chocolate initially dominates, gracefully transitioning to the fruitiness of the grapes.

Prefer your Easter booze in RTD form? There’s a Vodka Cruiser for that. Vodka Cruiser Mudshake features a blend of triple-distilled vodka and chocolate. 

And an honourable mention goes to Kahlúa and Tony’s Chocolonely, who have teamed up in the UK to create the ultimate Easter treat: the Espresso MarTony – an Espresso Martini served in a glass made entirely of milk chocolate.

Pictured main is UK ALDI’s spirited Easter surprise: the Infusionist Coffee & Caramel Egg-Fusion Martini Duo – a decadent chocolate indulgence that comes complete with its own ready-to-drink cocktail. Maybe next year for Oz?

And for good measure, here are 9 must-try Easter cocktails.
