It's National Chocolate Cupcake Day! YUM. How about trying this?
Chocolate Cupcake Cocktail
Ingredients
1/4 cup Vanilla frosting
1 cup Rainbow jimmies
Chocolate syrup
1oz Whipped cream vodka
1oz Amaertto
1oz Chocolate cream liquor
1oz Heavy whipping cream
Ice cubes
Serving glass (I used a martini glass, but any glass you have could be used)
Instructions
Rim your serving glass with a generous amount of vanilla frosting. Make sure to get the inside, outside and top of the rim.
Place rainbow jimmies into a flat bottomed, shallow bowl (or a small plate). Press frosted glass into the jimmies. You may need to move the jimmies around to ensure that all the frosting has be covered.
On the inside of the glass, swirl chocolate syrup starting at the top and ending at the bottom of the glass.
In a large glass, place the ice, whipped cream vodka, amaertto, chocolate cream liquor and heavy whipping cream. Stir with a spoon until well combined and chilled.
Carefully strain into the prepared glass.
Serve immediately.

Happy Friday! Our new shipment of Driver Nation has arrived! SHERMAN & TINGLE'S DRIVER NATION AMERICAN PREMIUM LAGER 97.1 FM The Drive's Sherman & Tingle are partnering with Crystal Lake Brewing to bring Chicagoland a beer that goes with everything, from power chords and drum solos to pizza and burgers. Driver Nation is a crisp, clean, classic lager that has broad appeal, but make no mistake — this is still an easy-to-drink, hard-to-put-down craft beer from Crystal Lake Brewing. Refreshing and drinkable, yet with body, flavor, and aroma that discerning beer drinkers will find superior to domestics.
