Honey Whiskey Cupcakes

Please See Other Recipes

If you think this is a stretch for my Friday Cocktails, then you didn’t see just how much booze I’ve put into this concoction! It’s everywhere I tell ya! Booze in the cake, even more in the frosting and then because I wasn’t sure that was quite enough I thought an extra touch with a drizzle would be necessary.

I think I had the idea to do this but I’m not sure…Jessica posted  these Bacon Banana Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Frosting + a Bourbon Drizzle (were those a homage to Elvis or what?) last week and I can’t remember if I said…’Hey, I want to do the same thing and I’ll use your recipe!’ or ‘Hey, that’s a great idea and I’ll use your recipe!”

Really I can’t…blame it on the booze if you must but the drizzle was a great idea, this recipe for Jack Daniels Honey Whiskey Cupcakes with a Boozy Drizzle was perfect and yes, I ate some of that drizzle with a spoon!
