Hop into Easter Celebrations with seasonal cocktails from Uhuru

This bank holiday, celebrate with cocktails, perfect for making to impress friends and family.

Uhuru (uhuru.com), the spirits brand making a difference to African wildlife conservation, have created a range of animal-themed cocktails.

The Quagga

First up, inspired by the Quagga – a species of Zebra – Uhuru’s Quagga cocktail is their twist on a chocolate milkshake, also featuring their Whisky. Here’s hoping for sunshine this weekend!

Ingredients

50ml Uhuru Whisky
2-3 scoops of vanilla ice cream
50ml cream
Dark chocolate for garnish

Method

Blend all ingredients until smooth.
Drizzle melted chocolate around the inside of a tumbler glass and pour in the mixture.
Grate over some dark chocolate and serve.

Coco Coqui

A great way to prepare for guests, Uhuru’s Coco Coqui can be made by the batch – a sweet drink with a creaminess that offers a slightly more warming drink over the Easter weekend – just in case the sun isn’t shining! Made with Uhuru’s Rum, garnish with nutmeg.

Ingredients

440ml cream of coconut

340ml evaporated milk

420ml condensed milk

340ml full-fat coconut milk

700ml Uhuru Rum

1 tablespoon vanilla extract or vanilla paste

1 teaspoon cinnamon

Pinch nutmeg

Method

Working in batches, pour in the milks and cream of coconut into the blender and puree until silky. Set aside in a large bowl.

Using a small quantity of the mixture as a base (it’s easiest to do this in a separate mug or jug) blend Uhuru Rum, vanilla and cinnamon and stir it into the bowl.

Funnel the liquid into bottles, jars, pitchers, jerricans, carafes, fill pots or whatever else you might have on hand and refrigerate.

Shake or stir and strain into serving glasses.

Add a pinch of nutmeg for garnish

The Splendid Toadfish

Another classic with a twist, Uhuru’s The Splendid Toadfish puts a spin on a classic slushy, with the addition of Uhuru Rum. Perfect for the upcoming bank holidays, The Splendid Toadfish brings tropical flavours to celebrations in the sun.
