Greater Manchester's famed chocolate shop Slattery's has teamed up with Zymurgorium to create gin Easter eggs.

The eggs are covered in an edible pink pearlescent coating and both contain a 50cl bottle of Zymurgorium gin inside them.

There are two to choose from - one contains Realm of the Unicorn , a shimmering pink 20% ABV gin liqueur that tastes of toasted marshmallows, while the other has a bottle of 'Flangingo', a 38% ABV pink gin flavoured with mango, pineapple, passionfruit, allspice and ginger.

The unicorn Easter egg is priced at £49 in Slattery's, with the flamingo egg retailing at £59.

The Whitefield-based patissier and chocolatier was commissioned by the independent gin company to create the new eggs, which will be stocked at Selfridges.

The eggs will be on sale at both the Trafford Centre and Exchange Square sites from today.

Slattery Easter egg range

A milk chocolate shell is coated in white and strawberry chocolate before being coated in a pearlescent shimmer, with milk chocolate drips pouring down the unicorn egg and silver white chocolate running down the Flagingo.

Other eggs available at Slattery's include a Greatest Showman-inspired creation complete with edible top hat, a sloth clutching a Flake tree, a hamburger egg with fake chocolate fries, and a Manchester bee-inspired egg with a honeycomb pattern.

All eggs are available for collection from Slattery's and can be pre-ordered for a £5 deposit.
