I have four "big kids" now. Little Devil has her very serious boyfriend, who is part of the family. He has his name on a Christmas stocking so he is stuck with us now. The Devilish Nephew has the most awesome wife. It's kind of fun being empty nesters with adult kids. Now we can hang out and enjoy a cocktail with the same folks we were once yelling at over late homework and dirty laundry. OF COURSE I have little Easter Baskets made for the tiniest devils. They are 3 and 5. I hope I live long enough to have an espresso martini with them someday, but for now I am obsessed with the little guys, so they can stay tiny and hunt Easter eggs for many more years. Sometimes I do grown up baskets or gifts for the big kids, and this time I saw these super cute glasses with Easter eggs on them, and I thought that would be a cute container for a grown up "basket." Then I saw a reel someone made putting together the canned espresso drink with a bottle of vodka wrapped up like a carrot. The only thing missing was the opportunity for having a bad pun and calling it EGGS-Presso instead of espresso. So I got inspired to make my own version for my big kids. This is a great co-worker treat or hostess gift too, and I've included the little tag you can print to make your own. Happy Easter!
| Easter "baskets" for my "big kids" |
| Here's everything you need. It's listed below. |
| Put the green shred in the bottom of each glass to look like grass. Add a can of espresso drink. |
| Place the individual vodka bottle upside down and gather the orange tissue around it. |
| Tie it off at the larger end so it looks like a carrot. |
| I trimmed my tissue paper at the top because it was pretty big and I was too lazy to cut my tissue squares into smaller sizes. |
| Grab some Easter-themed candy to throw in. I went with eggs since my glasses had eggs on them. AND it's an EGGS-presso Martini. |
| Add the vodka carrot and your candy to the glass. I'm not gonna lie, my stuff BARELY fit in here. I'm glad I chose the Ketel vodka because it was a longer, skinny bottle. |
| Here's my tag. You can right click on this and save it to your computer. Size it to your liking and print it onto cardstock. Cut it out and punch a tiny hole and tie it onto your carrot. |
| Aren't these just the cutest? Blue eggs for the boys and pink eggs for the girls. |
| Cheers! Happy Easter. |
