Think cocktail meets cupcake \u2014 all the charm of a bourbon smash in a hand-held treat. Ready to impress your friends (and maybe make them ask for the bar cart recipe)?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why you\u2019ll love these cupcakes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>They\u2019re <strong>cocktail-inspired but totally snackable<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/9amchef.com\/red-velvet-cheesecake-bites-cheesecake-bites-recipe-for-parties\/\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"922\">\u2014 bite into velvet<\/a> cake, find a boozy jammy center, and finish with a creamy, slightly boozy frosting.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Make-ahead friendly:<\/strong> Bake and freeze the bases, cook the filling in advance, whip the frosting when you need it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>They\u2019re perfect for grown-up events: Derby parties, backyard barbecues, or any time you want a dessert with attitude.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you love <strong>Whiskey Dessert Recipes<\/strong> and <strong>Bourbon Baking Recipes<\/strong>, this one sits squarely in both camps.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The story behind the recipe<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Inspired by the classic bourbon smash cocktail \u2014 bourbon, muddled mint, lemon, and simple syrup \u2014 I wanted a dessert that captured that bright, herbaceous kick plus juicy fruit. Blackberries bring the right tart-sweet balance, mint gives a fresh lift, and bourbon ties everything together with warm, toasty notes. The first batch got devoured at a backyard cookout; the second batch disappeared before the plates hit the table.

to 350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-2\">In a mixing bowl, whisk together sugar, oil, eggs and vanilla until a bit lighter in color (about 1\u20132 minutes). Beat in the sour cream until smooth.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-3\">In a separate bowl combine flour, baking powder and salt. Add half the dry mix and half the milk to the wet ingredients and stir gently. Add the remaining dry mix and milk, then fold in the bourbon. Don\u2019t overmix \u2014 a few streaks are fine; the batter will be slightly thin.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-4\">Divide batter among liners so they are about two-thirds full. Bake 14\u201316 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool completely on a wire rack.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Prepare the blackberry filling<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-5\">Combine the blackberries, sugar and flour in a small saucepan. Stir in lemon juice, bourbon and chopped mint.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-6\">Cook over medium heat, mashing gently, until the fruit breaks down and the mixture bubbles and thickens (about 5\u20137 minutes). Remove from the heat and chill until cold \u2014 it will continue to set as it cools.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Core and fill the cupcakes<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-7\">Use a cupcake corer or small knife to remove a small plug from the center of each cooled cupcake.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-8\">Spoon or pipe cooled blackberry filling into each cavity; reserve any extra for drizzling.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Whip the frosting<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-9\">Beat the cold, cubed butter on medium\u2013high speed until fluffy (3\u20135 minutes), scraping the bowl as needed.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-10\">With the mixer on low, add the powdered sugar in three additions, alternating with the cream, vanilla and bourbon. Once everything\u2019s incorporated, increase speed and whip 2\u20133 minutes until light and silky. Adjust cream or sugar to reach the texture you like.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-11\">Pipe or spread the frosting over the filled cupcakes. Garnish with a spoonful of extra blackberry sauce and a fresh mint leaf or blackberry, if desired.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\t<hr data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"secondary-color.border-color secondary-color.background-color\">\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"tasty-recipes-notes\">\n\t\t\t<h3 data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"h3-color.color h3-transform.text-transform\">Notes<\/h3>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"tasty-recipes-notes-body\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"body-color.color\">\n\t\t\t\t<ul>\n<li><strong>Notes &amp; tips<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>Batter texture: this recipe produces a thinner batter than some cupcakes \u2014 that\u2019s normal. Stir the batter from the bottom before scooping to ensure even mixing.<\/li>\n<li>Sour cream swap: replace with Greek yogurt if preferred. Full-fat sour cream also works.<\/li>\n<li>Non-alcoholic option: omit bourbon in all components. Use milk in the cupcakes and water in the filling; skip bourbon in the frosting.<\/li>\n<li>If your filling seems too runny, simmer a couple extra minutes; if it\u2019s too thick, thin with a splash of water or juice.<\/li>\n<li>For cleaner piping, chill the cupcakes briefly after filling so the frosting holds its shape.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Storage &amp; make-ahead<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>Room temp: Store frosted cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for 1\u20132 days (avoid very hot\/humid conditions).<\/li>\n<li>Refrigeration: Keep in the fridge up to 3 days; bring to room temperature before serving for best texture.<\/li>\n<li>Freezing: To freeze, flash-freeze unfrosted cupcakes on a tray 15 minutes, then transfer to airtight containers for up to 1 month. Thaw in the refrigerator, then fill and frost before serving.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<hr data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"secondary-color.border-color secondary-color.background-color\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"tasty-recipes-nutrition\">\n\t\t\t<h3 data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"h3-color.color h3-transform.text-transform\">Nutrition<\/h3>\n\t\t\t<ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li><strong class=\"tasty-recipes-label\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"body-color.color\">Serving Size:<\/strong> <span data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"body-color.color\" class=\"tasty-recipes-serving-size\">1 cupcake<\/span><\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li><strong class=\"tasty-recipes-label\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"body-color.color\">Calories:<\/strong> <span data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"body-color.color\" class=\"tasty-recipes-calories\">438<\/span><\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li><strong class=\"tasty-recipes-label\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"body-color.color\">Sugar:<\/strong> <span data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"body-color.color\" class=\"tasty-recipes-sugar\">51.3g<\/span><\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li><strong class=\"tasty-recipes-label\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"body-color.color\">Sodium:<\/strong> <span data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"body-color.color\" class=\"tasty-recipes-sodium\">103.8g<\/span><\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li><strong class=\"tasty-recipes-label\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"body-color.color\">Fat:<\/strong> <span data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"body-color.color\" class=\"tasty-recipes-fat\">19g<\/span><\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li><strong class=\"tasty-recipes-label\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"body-color.color\">Saturated Fat:<\/strong> <span data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"body-color.color\" class=\"tasty-recipes-saturated-fat\">12g<\/span><\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li><strong class=\"tasty-recipes-label\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"body-color.color\">Carbohydrates:<\/strong> <span data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"body-color.color\" class=\"tasty-recipes-carbohydrates\">63g<\/span><\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li><strong class=\"tasty-recipes-label\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"body-color.color\">Fiber:<\/strong> <span data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"body-color.color\" class=\"tasty-recipes-fiber\">1.6g<\/span><\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li><strong class=\"tasty-recipes-label\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"body-color.color\">Protein:<\/strong> <span data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"body-color.color\" class=\"tasty-recipes-protein\">3g<\/span><\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li><strong class=\"tasty-recipes-label\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"body-color.color\">Cholesterol:<\/strong> <span data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"body-color.color\" class=\"tasty-recipes-cholesterol\">65mg<\/span><\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\n\t<footer class=\"tasty-recipes-entry-footer\">\n\t\t<div class=\"tasty-recipes-footer-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" class=\"svg-instagram\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"footer-icon-color.color\"><use href=\"#tasty-recipes-icon-instagram\"><\/use><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"tasty-recipes-footer-copy\">\n\t\t\t\t<h3 data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"footer-heading-color.color h3-transform.text-transform footer-heading.innerText\">Did you make this recipe?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t<div data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"footer-description-color.color footer-description.innerHTML\"><p>Share a photo and tag us \u2014 we can&#8217;t wait to see what you&#8217;ve made!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/footer>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-base-3-color\"><strong>Bonus bolded keywords used above:<\/strong> <strong>Whiskey Dessert Recipes<\/strong>, <strong>Boozy Recipes<\/strong>, <strong>Liquor Desserts<\/strong>, <strong>Bourbon Baking Recipes<\/strong>, <strong>Alcohol Dessert Recipes<\/strong>, <strong>Baking With Alcohol<\/strong>, <strong>Booze Desserts<\/strong>, <strong>Easy Alcohol Dessert Recipes<\/strong>, <strong>Manly Cupcakes Ideas For Men<\/strong>.<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Easy Alcohol Dessert Recipes \u2014 Blackberry Bourbon Smash Cupcakes Easy Alcohol Dessert Recipes kick party dessert up a notch, and these Blackberry Bourbon Smash Cupcakes do it with style: moist vanilla cupcakes spiked with bourbon, a hidden boozy blackberry-mint filling, and pillowy bourbon-vanilla buttercream on top.
