Coconut and Lime developed a delicious-looking absinthe cupcake, topped with green fairy icing and a sugar cube. We think the fresh anise taste and the green pastel color is just right for Spring and St. Patrick's Day!
Absinthe Cupcakes at Coconut & Lime
Absinthe was recently made legal in the US again, and we've been sipping it in cocktails such as Sazeracs and Death in the Afternoons, but we never considered cooking with it, until now. Hmm, we see some kitchen experimentation happening this weekend.
Coconut and Lime say they prefer Kübler absinthe, but there are several other brands on the market that are worth trying. We like Absinthe Verte from St. George's Spirits in Alameda, CA, and Lucid. All can be found at your local upscale liquor store.

Since you're talking St. Pats and cupcakes, have you taken a look at the chocolate Guinness cupcake recipe Draft Magazine published last month? They were fantastic!

I've never thought of using Absinthe/anise flavoring like that, but it looks interesting - and perfect for St. Patrick's day!
And as for the Guiness cupcake recipe skittlbrau posted - that looks wonderful! I would substitute Beamish (http://www.beamish.ie/) for Guiness though, it is a little sweeter and creamier and I bet it would be amazing with chocolate. Yes, I am a huge beer snob.

Nice cupcakes, but I LOVE the wrappers! Any idea where they came from?
