<span style="font-size: small;">This Easter, add a little alcohol to your dessert. I'm always a fan of festive cocktails and Easter is no exception. I'll be making my Aunt Linda's Award Winning Carrot Cake, but I thought I'd have a little fun and make these shooters as well. It will be the perfect welcome treat as my guests arrive. Bottoms up! </span></div>
