Drink Your Cocktails, Cupcake
Did you know it is very easy to add booze to your cupcakes? It is as simple as brushing on some rum or tequila, or whatever on to cupcakes when they come out of the oven, again before icing, and heck, put some in the frosting as well!
Remember those amazing strawberry rhubarb cupcakes?? Well, I brushed a batch of these little beauties with rum, twice...then I added rum to the the strawberry meringue butter cream....Yum!! You heard me correctly....just add some liquor to a Swiss meringue butter cream after it is finished and you are set!!
Then there was the wonderful mango lime cupcakes? Those were brushed with tequila, twice then were topped with a tequila lime icing!! Tequila lime icing is as easy as switching out the water or other liquid for lime juice and tequila. A little lime zest never hurts either!!

Laurie, thanks for the visit and comments about the garden...
ReplyDeleteAs for the okra...
Check with your local nursery - but - I've read that there are 3 different varieties that are cold tolerant. Clemson Spineless "says" that it will grow in 5B but I havent seen anything giving that any validity. You can try to nudge things along by
1.) Pre soak the seeds for 48 hours before planting
2.) Start the seeds inside so they will stand a better chance of getting a head start on the growing season.
3.) Plant the okra on the southern facing side of the house so they can withstand the colder northern spring.
4.) Find you someone down south to ship you a bushel every month or so.
Boozy cupcakes... YES P.L.E.A.S.E!
