Oh So Sweet {Hypnotiq Cupcakes}

Yes, that's right. Hypnotiq cupcakes. In my other life, I double as the drunken baker. And no, not because I bake drunk, because I incorporate flavorful alcoholic beverages into delicious not on your diet cupcakes. Per the request of my lovely sister this holiday season, the drunken baker made a return with scrumptious Hypnotiq cupcakes. It's one of my favorite liqueurs to bake with because it is light and flavorful. Intrigued? I thought so. That's why I shared with you!
