Ear Royale (Valentines Day option #2)

5oz Champagne
1tsp Crème de Cassis
1 Pink Rabbit Peep

Just use the tiniest dash of Cassis; the currant syrup is so strong it can easily overpower the drink. Best to first pour the Champers, then tilt the glass and gently let just about a half-teaspoon of it slide to the bottom.

Mixed properly, the colors should transition beautifully from the bottom to the top.

Normally I am of the Cult of the One True Peep (yellow chick), and I really don’t acknowledge Apocryphal False Peeps (other colors or animals)… but for V-Day I thought the Kir Royale was just too perfect a drink, and it needed a proper peep-friendly equivalent. (counterpeep?)

Peep Love (Valentine’s Day option #1)

Equal Parts:

Hennessy
Alizé
Club Soda

Two pink peeps, stuck together

Based on the noxious nightclub drink “Thug Love”, this one mystifies me. Alizé, in case you aren’t familiar, is cheap brandy mixed with sticky-sweet fruit juice… sort of like a wine cooler, but with a special grade of liquor so awful even the homeless won’t drink it. And then the drink is mixed with Hennessy? (Some Henny is ok, but this drink is made from the very worst).

So, it’s about as silly as mixing a “wine cooler” with wine. No wonder they have to add the club soda to make it tolerable. I have no idea what “thug” would be caught anywhere near this drink, except maybe as the beginning of taking advantage of someone underage…

Don’t try this one at home. But at least the peeps are cute!

Tequila Peepshots

1 bottle tequila
1 rack of peeps
1-2 lemons or limes

Citrus or Marshmallow? Lime, Lemon, or Peep?

Try both, and then you decide! Comment below to tell us your vote….

Either way, beware of the aftermath that may ensue — could be unhealthy for the peeps! Here’s what happened to ours, when we tested in the “lab”:

Peeps on the Beach

1oz vodka
1oz peach schnapps
2oz orange juice
2oz cranberry juice
1 marshmallow peep

Fill a highball glass with ice (or chardonnay glass, as pictured). Add vodka and peach schnapps, then fill glass with equal parts orange juice and half cranberry juice. Garnish with peep.

Chocolate Peeptini

2 oz vodka
1/2 oz creme de cacao
1 marshmallow peep
2 tbsp chocolate syrup

Dunk peep in Fox’s U-Bet brand chocolate syrup. Add ingredients to shaker filled with ice, then pour into martini glass. Add remaining chocolate syrup.

Optional: Before pouring drink into martini glass, wet the rim and invert the glass into a saucer dusted with hot chocolate mix or finely grated dark chocolate.

Peepberry Açai Pink & Purple

6oz Van Gogh Blueberry-Açai Vodka
1oz Sweet Vermouth
1 marshmallow peep

Pour alcohol into a shaker filled with ice cubes, chill and strain into glass, garnish with marshmallow peep.

It’s simple, but colorful and tasty… A friend gave me a bottle of this stuff, and I just had to include it on this site 🙂

Remember, it’s all about fun — and what could be more fun than alcohol and peeps, together? Have ideas of your own? Feel free to comment on any of the posts here, or give us some feedback about what you think of the site. If you’re really adventurous, you can even Share your own recipe!

Tequila Peeprise

1.5oz Jose Cuervo Tequila
3/4 cup fresh orange juice
1.5oz grenadine syrup
1 maraschino cherry
Don’t forget the Peep!

Stir or shake together tequila and orange juice. Fill a chilled 12 ounce glass with ice cubes; pour in orange juice mixture. Slowly pour in the grenadine, and allow it to settle to the bottom of the glass (be patient). Garnish with a an orange slice (optional), a maraschino cherry, and a marshmallow peep!

Pear of Peeps Pair Martini

2oz Pear-Infused Brandy
4oz Ketel One Vodka
1oz Dry Vermouth
Ground Cinnamon
2 peeps, still stuck together

Place cinnamon on a saucer. Wet the rim of the martini glass, and slide it around upside-down on the saucer to apply the cinnamon rim. Fill a large shaker with ice, and add all three ingredients. Strain into martini glass, carefully avoiding the cinnamon, and float two peeps on top as garnish.

Peeparita

6oz Sauza Hornitos Tequila
4oz Triple Sec or Cointreau
2oz Grand Marnier
4oz Lime juice
2tbsp Confectioners’ sugar
1 row of frozen peeps
1 non-frozen peep (garnishes and other extras optional)

1. Fill a martini glass with crushed ice and cold water, to begin chilling the glass.

2. Over a small plate or cutting board, rub the whole row of peeps between your hands until the frozen and colored sugar coating rains onto the surface below. This will be a messy nuisance, getting all over your hands — just deal with it.

3. Fill a large shaker with ice cubes, add tequila and triple sec first, then lime juice and confectioners’ sugar (or substitute 2oz simple syrup).

4. Dump the icewater from the martini glass, and rub the upside-down glass in the “peep dust” to create the colored sugar rim.

5. Carefully refill the glass with crushed ice.

6. Shake the shaker, strain into martini glass over the crushed ice, and garnish as illustrated.

Alternate presentations:

Peepikaze

1.25 oz Vodka
0.25 oz triple sec
0.25 oz lime juic

Fill a small shaker with ice. Add lime juice, triple sec and vodka, shake and strain into a shot glass, then garnish with divebombing peep.
