Beer Cupcakes Made From Newcastle, Guinness and Blue Moon

Etsy member, Cacao Bakery has been offering up some very unique basked items at her online bake shop. She calls them Beer Cupcakes, and as you might have guessed, they are cupcakes made from beer! She offers them in three flavors, Chocolate Guiness, Chocolate Newcastle, and Orangey Blue Moon. The cupcakes are handmade from scratch and she even offers to perfect a recipe for you if you’ve got a favorite beer that you’d like to see made into a cupcake! I need to taste these.

“12 cupcakes ship with frosting in a separate container (so they aren’t smashed in shipping). Alcohol is cooked out during baking so anyone can enjoy them! All of our gourmet sweets & treats are handmade from scratch using all natural and organic ingredients and are always fresh to order, so please allow 2-3 days before shipping.”

Bakon Vodka

I’m used to seeing fruity flavored Vodka on the supermarket shelf, but I’ve never seen a vodka flavored with bacon. You heard me right, bacon! That savory food item that usually goes well with over easy eggs now can be found bottled in liquid form as vodka! This potato vodka from Seattle based Black Rock Spirits is sure to be a conversation starter at your next cocktail party. Bakon Vodka is available only in a limited number of states (Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, and New York) but you can purchase it online (see below).

“Bakon Vodka is a superior quality potato vodka with a savory bacon flavor. It’s clean, crisp, and delicious. This is the only vodka you’ll ever want to use to make a Bloody Mary, and it’s a complementary element of both sweet and savory drinks. We start with superior quality Idaho potatoes instead of the random mixed grains that make up most vodkas. Our vodka is column-distilled using a single heating process that doesn’t “bruise” the alcohol like the multiple heating cycles needed to make a typical pot-still vodka. No tinge or burn on the tongue, no obnoxious smoky or chemical flavors, just a clean refreshing potato vodka with delicious savory bacon flavor.”

The Ale Flip

The Ale Flip, also affectionately known as the Flippant Hen and simply, The Flip is considered to be one of those hangover drinks. Though, it’s a bit counterintuitive considering you’re drinking beer to help cure a hangover from beer. But hey, who am I to judge. This particular recipe involves a raw eggs boys and girls, so, be sure to drink with caution or risk salmonella. Then again, who said adventure didn’t involve a little risk!

1 bottle Ale of your choice

1 Raw Egg

Sugar (optional)

Nutmeg (optional)
