Bloody Mary Cupcakes
So here's the story. . . for Christmas last year I received a lovely gift from one of my best gals Darija. The gift was seemingly common - a book of cupcake recipes. . . yet with a twist (of lime!) - this book was full of "Intoxicated Cupcake" recipes.
The list of colorful, inventive, boozy recipes includes cupcakes mimicking flavors of our favorite happy hour delights... margarita, strawberry daiquiri, bellini, cosmo (just to name a few) ..... and of course, possibly the most enticing recipe -
Blood Mary Cupcakes.
With every ingredient we added- tobasco sauce, celery salt, tomato soup. . . our curiosity grew. . .
the cupcakes turned out super moist, sweet and spicy, almost a gingerbread meets pumpkin spice... definitely a unique cupcake!
The only modifications we made: for the glaze, we ran out of vodka and used limoncello and added lime zest to the glaze AND as a colorful garnish.
Enjoy!

These sound pretty amazing. Next time I'm in town I want to try these... and the margarita ones... and the bellinis... and the cosmos.... Cheers!
