Out of the Shell Looking to add a little extra oomph to your drinks this spring? Whip up one of these Easter-ready egg cocktails.     Absinthe Suissesse This is a classic New Orleans brunch cocktail. Indeed, this version by Chris Hannah of Arnaud’s French 75 is a tasty way to start the day—creamy but light with notes of anise and almond, and a light minty kick.   Amaretto Sour Portland bartender Jeffrey Morgenthaler puts a delicious twist on the classic amaretto sour with the addition of bourbon, rich simple syrup and egg white.   Bitter Pill Aged rum and Fernet make for a spirited match in this assertive lowball.

NOTE: Remember that when mixing with eggs at home, freshness is a must.The danger of food-borne illness, while remote, can be minimized by washing eggs and taking care to prevent contact between the shell’s exterior and the edible portion within; removing the yolk further reduces the risk. If you're still concerned, you can opt for pasteurized eggs.
