Cocktail Cupcakes

These cupcakes were a great excuse to try some different techniques that I hadn’t used before. I was aiming for a taste similar to a cosmopolitan or fruity based vodka cocktail. I really enjoyed this little project as I based everything on taste rather than looking up recipes and felt quite pleased with the finished result! Fortunately, I like vodka cocktails!! ;)

I started with an orange sponge brushed with vodka.  This was then injected with a shot of orange sugar syrup and a separate shot of grenadine syrup.  The two tone buttercream swirls were flavoured with orange, cranberry and more vodka! Perfect for a Hen night!!!
