Easter Baskets for Grown Ups

Easter baskets are so much fun, it’s a shame to abandon them just because you no longer enjoy candy that sticks to your teeth. As it turns out, the Easter Bunny has been saving the good stuff for the grown ups all along.

• Lindemans Framboise Lambic

  

  I don’t like beer. I’ve tried to like beer, really I have, but beer and I just aren’t friends. That means I end up drinking a lot of flat cider in bars where no one orders cider. On occasion, I’m thrilled to find a place that offers lambic, and Lindemans Framboise Lambic is my favorite. It’s a fruity, frothy, thirst-quenching yeast beverage. The Framboise is an ideal balance of sweet and tart, with a pleasant, mellow aftertaste. Like a complex, tipsy soda pop.

  $6 at Beverages and More

• Candy Cigarettes

  

  Return to a time when parents gave their children cap guns, Cracker Jacks still had swallowable toys inside, and you could buy candy shaped like a carcinogen. Candy cigarettes sure take you back. They may taste like sugared chalk, but the nostalgia factor is off the charts. Lean against the nearest wall, dig for your imaginary lighter, and lift one to your lips. When the powdered-sugar smoke goes straight up your nose, double over in a fit of uncontrollable coughing. Now that’s satisfaction.
