What’s not to love about cupcakes? They’re just the right size, you can carry them with you and, let’s be honest, they’re just super darn cute.

Now I want to introduce you to the cupcake that’s all grown up. It’s still its same old sweet self but with booze. Ditch that muffin and welcome to the world of alcoholic cupcakes. Cheers.
