Bourbon and Spice Cupcakes

Quick and easy Bourbon and Spice Cupcakes will be a hit at your next tailgating event or holiday party. With a splash of bourbon in the batter and in the frosting, these are adult-only cupcakes.

The frosting is a rich combination of mascarpone cheese, butter, and cream cheese flavored with cinnamon, nutmeg, and bourbon. It is one of the most delicious frostings ever and also tastes great on pumpkin cupcakes.

These quick and easy Bourbon and Spice Cupcakes are a little boozy, but not overly so. The bourbon and the spices combine to make one delicious fall cupcake. I’ve added some chopped pecans to the batter. Pecans should be added to everything this time of year. 🙂

If you don’t like pecans, you could leave them out, or add chopped wlanuts.

Bourbon is one of the most versatile liquors to cook with. It adds great flavor to everything from baked beans to chili to pecan pie.

And what makes cooking with bourbon even better? A little sip here and a little sip there is perfectly permissible. 🙂

Do you cook or bake with liquors? Which is your favorite to use?
