What is better than having your cupcake and eating it too? Having a cocktail cupcake, of course. Prohibition Bakery provides us everything we need to create make delicious cupcakes with a boozy twist!
Former bartender Leslie Feinberg, along with classically trained chef Brooke Siem, started Manhattan’s first cupcake company using alcohol as their secret ingredient. Prohibition Bakery has everyone lining up for a taste with their motto being Please Eat Responsibly. In this new book the duo share over fifty of their recipes that have been adapted for the home baker. The cupcakes are organized by type of alcohol and begin with recipes for Infusions such as Minty Rum or Gin or Spicy Scotch followed by recipes for Fillings and then Boozy James and Jellies before delving into the cupcake recipes!
Each cupcake is a piece of art and includes detailed instructions for filling, frosting and garnish. There are recipes for classics such as Pina Colada, Mojito, Negroni and Margarita but also recipes for some lesser known concoctions. For instance, Kokoloko – a coconut and chocolate creation that sounds wonderful as well as the Seelbach a bourbon and champagne treat named after the Louisville hotel where it was invented. Mudslides are one of my favorite drinks and the Mudslide cupcake will be in my immediate future. There are myriad combinations of flavors and they all pack a punch.
