Easter is the one fine holiday where you can have your candy and drink it too.
Stores have been stocking Easter candy for weeks, and chances are some of it has already found its way into your home. If you’ve been waiting for Easter morning to fill up those baskets, here’s a good reason to sneak into the Easter Bunny’s stash: martinis! You can always restock before the kids ever find out what happened to their candy.
