Easter brunch is one of my favorite springtime celebrations, and no brunch is complete without a delicious cocktail (or two!).
Whether you’re hosting a big Easter Sunday gathering or just treating yourself to a relaxing morning, these fun champagne cocktails will add the perfect festive touch.
From classic mimosas to creative twists on your favorite champagne cocktail, I’m sharing my go-to Easter brunch cocktails that are easy to make, beautifully bubbly, and packed with simple ingredients you probably already have in your own home bar.
The Classics: Mimosas & Champagne Cocktails
The Classic Mimosa
- 4 oz brut champagne
- 2 oz orange juice
You can’t talk about Easter mimosas without mentioning the traditional mimosa—the brunch cocktail that never fails!
It’s a simple yet elegant combination of orange juice and dry champagne (or brut champagne if you prefer it less sweet).
Just pour part champagne into a champagne flute, top it with orange juice, and enjoy!
Tip: Swap orange juice for grapefruit juice, pineapple juice, or pomegranate juice for a fun twist.
Classic Champagne Cocktail
- 1 sugar cube
- 2 dashes Angostura bitters
- 5 oz sparkling wine
- Lemon twist or orange peel for garnish
If you love a touch of old-school elegance, this one’s for you. Simply drop a sugar cube into a champagne glass, add a few dashes of bitters, and top with sparkling wine. Garnish with a lemon twist or orange peel for a sophisticated look.
Creative Easter Champagne Drinks
The Tipsy Bunny
- 1 oz gin
- ½ oz lemon juice
- ½ oz simple syrup
- 3 oz brut champagne
This Easter drink is a playful spin on a French 75, using a combination of gin, lemon juice, and simple syrup shaken in a cocktail shaker before being topped with brut champagne. It’s bubbly, bright, and the perfect Easter cocktail for celebrating.
Pink Bunny Bellini
- 2 oz pink lemonade
- 1 oz strawberry purée
- 4 oz champagne
A peach bellini is always a great way to welcome spring. To make it extra festive, mix pink lemonade, strawberry purée, and champagne in a champagne flute. The pink color is perfect for Easter celebrations—and it pairs beautifully with an Easter dessert like lemon bars or strawberry shortcake.
Batch Cocktails for a Crowd
Easter Champagne Punch
- 1 bottle champagne
- 2 cups pineapple juice
- 1 cup pomegranate juice
- 1 cup lemon-lime soda
- Fresh strawberries & raspberries for garnish
A champagne punch is the best way to keep drinks flowing without playing bartender all morning. In a punch bowl, combine champagne, pineapple juice, pomegranate juice, and a splash of lemon-lime soda for a light, fruity punch. Add fresh strawberries, fresh raspberries, or fresh fruit of your choice to make it extra festive.
Easter-Themed Cocktails & Mocktails
Peeps Mimosas
- 4 oz brut champagne
- 2 oz orange juice
- Peeps marshmallow for garnish
For a fun Easter-themed drink, make a classic mimosa and garnish with a sugar-coated marshmallow Peep on the rim. It’s a perfect way to bring a little whimsy to your brunch table!
Tips & Tricks for the Perfect Easter Brunch Cocktails

- Try different champagnes – Dry champagne is best for cocktails, but if you like things sweeter, opt for brut champagne or prosecco.
- Make batch cocktails – Hosting a crowd? Go for a champagne punch or a big batch of peach bellinis so guests can serve themselves.
- Don’t forget garnishes – A lemon twist, orange peel, or fresh raspberries take your cocktail from good to Instagram-worthy.
