Absinthe cupcakes

And now, to continue with the absinthe trend...

Coconut and Lime author Rachel Rappaport's recipe for her cupcakes caught my eye right away. They're really simple - flour, sugar, milk, butter, and the most important part - 1/4 cup of absinthe.

Rachel recommends Kübler Absinthe Superieure absinthe, which is what she chose for the cupcakes, but feel free to substitute another brand if you so choose.

She tops the cakes with her green fairy frosting, which also contains a drop of absinthe, as well as a few drops of green food coloring to give it that light, fresh look, and tops it off with - what else? - a sugar cube. Perfection.
