Light drinks with fun, fruity flavours are always a great option for a brunch. If you are looking for a few great Easter-ready cocktail and mocktail recipes that everyone can enjoy. Easter comes with many traditions; from egg hunts to Easter baskets and springtime crafts, there are plenty of ways to celebrate the day with friends and family. If you’re the one hosting Easter brunch this year, you’ll want to make sure everything is ready when guests arrive in their Sunday best. While you may already have the menu set, there are still drinks to consider. Stock your brunch bar with these delicious cocktails (for the adults) and mocktails (for the kiddos) to add a little something extra to the event.

> Known as “The Buckley” this pretty pink drink is a fantastic option for an Easter brunch. Not only does it have a colourful, impressive appearance, its sage and lime-infused flavours are sure to impress. This option is definitely for adults only though as the ingredients list calls for gin and Campari, which gives the drink its pink hue.
> Brunch wouldn’t be brunch without a fantastic sangria option. With the Cranberry Punch with Apples & Strawberries you can create an alcoholic version with red wine or make a batch for the whole family with fruit juice only. The beauty of this recipe is that it is simple and delicious, while the addition of apples and strawberries adds to the stunning presentation.
> This next drink option is all about the kiddos. These Fruit Cube Mocktails include delicious, non-alcoholic ingredients and ridiculously cute fruit ice cubes. You can even get little ones involved in creating them by letting them choose the fun shapes and their favourite fruits to include. These will definitely make for a memorable and fun Easter brunch.
EASTER DECORATIONS
Need some ideas for how to decorate your home for the Easter holiday? Between Easter bunnies and Easter eggs, there are many ways that you can be creative with your Easter décor. Easter decorations for the home usually incorporate pastel colors of pink, green, blue, and yellow. For a modern look, use brighter versions of those same colors.
> Easter Décor: Include handcrafted Easter Bunnies, decorated eggs, and baby chicks in your Easter party decorations. You can buy these items and other Easter decorations at a local craft shop, party supply store, or online. If you are feeling creative, you could also try your hand at making some of your own Easter decorations. Another great idea is to do some Easter crafts with your children which you can then put on display as decorations for your Easter brunch or dinner party!
> Table Settings: If you are planning to have an Easter brunch or dinner, there are many Easter table decorations that you can incorporate into your table setting. First, set your table with a tablecloth, table runner, and place mats. Try to use solid colours wherever possible to keep your table from looking too busy. Delight your guests with beautiful dinnerware in Easter colours like green, yellow, and pink. Use festive napkin rings to reflect the season as well. Another Easter table decorating tip is to avoid using scented candles in your table settings because it will interfere with the food aromas.
> Flowers: With spring in full bloom, there is no reason not to incorporate flowers into your Easter decorations. Add a few vases of flowers to give your room a beautiful spring look. Easter flowers like daffodils, tulips, lilies, and irises will bring vibrant colours to your table setting. Another decorating idea is to fill the vase with jellybeans instead of water. This should be done just prior to the party though so the flowers do not wilt.
> Centrepiece: A great Easter table centrepiece idea is to paint a small tree branch white, then stick it to a foam craft ball to secure it. Place the foam ball into a festive Easter pail. Then, hang miniature glass Easter egg ornaments from the tree branches. Another Easter centerpiece idea is to get a large clear vase and fill it with your beautiful decorated Easter eggs.

SIMPLE PAPER KITE FOR A TODDLER
Easter is a great time to fly kites. Here is a simple and fun kite pattern that is perfect for kids (kids 2 to 9 used these kites!). Decorate their papers first before following these instructions to “assemble” the kites:
Step 1: Gather materials (one piece of paper, a ruler, a pencil, some yarn or string, a stapler, and a hole punch)
Step 2: Fold paper in half
Step 3: Along the folded side of your paper, measure and mark off at 2 1/2 inches (point A) and at 3 1/2 inches (point B)
Step 4: Take two corners of your paper and staple them together at point A.
Step 5: Punch a hole at point B
Step 6: Tie a long piece of yarn through the hole you’ve just punched.
Step 7: Fly your kite on a windy day.
Step 8: Expect lots and lots of laughs and “Wows!” and running around.
