Friends, did you know that my birthday falls on Easter this year? Ok, I didn’t really think anyone was tracking that so, guess what? My birthday is on Easter this year! That’s never happened before, but it feels kind of fun, so since I’m a grown adult (turning the big 3-5 no less), it seems only appropriate that there be some kind of booze involved. (I mean, who doesn’t love a great Easter cocktail anyway?) Cut to me walking through Michaels and spying the cutest little silicone bunny molds and, welp, we’ve got these boozy bunny jiggler shots! They’re made with rosé, raspberry vodka and strawberry simple syrup so the result is super fruity and equally festive! Keep reading for the recipe, and click through to check out a few of my blogging buds and their festive Easter creations, too! My friends know how to celebrate and I’m crazy for all their recipes and decor ideas.
Easter Toffee by Julie Blanner | Leftover Easter Ham Breakfast Egg Nests by Freutcake | Mini Easter Naked Layer Carrot Cakes from The Effortless Chic | Easter Table Decorating Ideas from Inspired By Charm
- 2 cups dry rosé
- ½ cup strawberry simple syrup
- ½ cup raspberry vodka
- 3 packets plain gelatin
- 2 drops pink food coloring (optional)
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 cup water
- 2 cups strawberries, hulled and halved
- White nonpareil sprinkles (optional)
- Pour rosé and simple syrup in a cool saucepan
- Sprinkle gelatin over top and allow it to sit for 3 - 5 before heating
- Turn the heat to medium-high and bring to a simmer, mixing to incorporate the gelatin
- Continue to heat until the gelatin is fully dissolved being careful not to let the mixture boil
- Pour rosé gelatin mixture into a large heat-safe measuring cup
- Add vodka and food coloring and gently stir
- Pour into a lightly greased silicone mold and refrigerate for four hours or overnight
- Use a bamboo skewer or similar to gently outline the shape of each jiggler bunny, to help it remove easier from the mold
- Finally, create a face for the bunny using three white nonpareil sprinkles for eyes and a nose
- Add sugar and water to a saucepan and boil over medium-high heat until sugar is dissolved
- Add strawberries and continue to boil at a low boil for 12 - 15 minutes being careful not to let it bubble over
- Remove from the heat and strain through a sieve into a bowl or similar
- Use the back of a spatula or wooden spoon to push as much of the juice through the sieve as possible, then toss the remaining mushed up berries
- Allow the syrup to cool completely before using
