Thirsty Thursday – Cupcake Martini

0

Since I can’t have my cake and eat it too, I might as well drink it, right!?

I concocted this edible drink last night while going through one of my sugar cravings. It doesn’t hit the spot like the real deal cupcakes I wish to consume, but it sure as hell is a great substitute! This is perfect for your next ladies night, birthday celebration, or just when you’d rather drink your calories than eat them!

Cupcake Martini

cupcake goodness...

  • 2 oz Vanilla Vodka
  • 1 oz Ginger Ale
  • Splash of cranberry juice (optional)
  • Frosting, sprinkles and cherry for garnish
  • In a shaker filled with ice, mix the vodka, ginger ale and cranberry and give it a good shake.

Garnish the rim of the glass with some chocolate (or vanilla, your choice) frosting and sprinkles. If you have maraschino cherries, throw one in the bottom of the martini glass for an even sweeter treat. Pour the chilled mix in the glass and serve!
