Easter 2022 has officially come and gone, but what likely isn't gone are all those chocolate bunnies laying around the house. You know, with the giant ears and little candy eyeballs staring in your direction while nestled in their grass-lined basket home.

The only common theme across most celebrations is the candy - especially those chocolate bunnies.

Just Add Booze

As far as the best types of booze to put in your bunny shot glasses, think about what will go best with a chocolate base, the aforementioned Bailey's, some of the Pinnacle Vodka flavors, Godiva has a whole line of chocolate-based liquors, Kahlua, or anything Irish creme, peppermint, butterscotch, vanilla or even cinnamon.
