While
Cadbury eggs might feel like a thing of the past, they’ve found new life by transforming themselves into cocktails. Why? Because candy is great and the big kids in us need an excuse to eat it. The milk chocolate has that perfect crack as you sink your teeth into liquid sugar. It’s got that nostalgic lip-smacking quality. Here are some tips on how to make this festive cocktail.
The essentials:
While milk chocolate only encompasses the outside of the egg, it’s important to re-create that chocolate flavor in the cocktail. Although crème de cacao is a clear liqueur, it imparts a light chocolate flavor and leaves a white canvas for the drink. I chose half milk and half cream so the milk was neither too heavy nor light. Choose vodka or gin depending on how you like your martinis.
The egg yolk:
It took a few tries to figure out the best way to create that vibrant orange yolk. I tried caramel at the bottom but wanted to go with something that floats. A little whipped cream with yellow food dye makes for the best-floating yolk.
Storage:
Feel free to go ahead and make a big batch of this cocktail. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days in the refrigerator.
