Lushybakingfilter: why bother with that whole pesky drinking thing when you can try your favorite cocktail in dessert form? Mojitos, mar ga ri tas, screwdrivers, martinis, black russians, daiq uiris, gin & tonics, piña col adas, mai tais and mint juleps. Mmmm.

I'll bet you could probably pour some Coca Cola into the JD Birthday Cake recipe...

On a related note, I baked some pineapple pound cake spice loaves the other day, and a couple spoons of rum probably would have been a nice addition.

I was surprised to not see those cupcakes linked, actually, but those were the first thing to come to mind. My favorite drink and all.

My San Diego host family served up margarita pie once. At the time I was fervently opposed to anything remotely alcoholic, but out of curiosity I took a bite. Tasted like key lime pie. Not bad actually. I regret not eating more. (Now I still don't drink - I hate the yeasty taste of most alcoholic drinks and I'm on meds - but I'm not opposed to alcohol in food. Not after discovering that my Osaka host family cooked everything with sake, and that I went through half a box of chocolates before realizing there was sherry in them.)

The longer it's cooked the less alcohol content it has. There's burn-off, it's mostly the flavor that stays.

why bother with that whole pesky drinking thing I don't think I can even begin to answer that....

Okay can someone hope me here? The Mojito recipe there (and other places) try to add spearmint to Mojito, but it tastes wrong. In Cuba they tell you you can only get real Mojito's in Cuba because the mint it needs only comes from Cuba. What variety is it that they use? From memory it's got a red stalk and it's definitely not normal spearmint because spearmint makes me hurl. Any thoughts, or should I just take it to ask?

I desperately want to eat black russian cake, but they all want me to use cakemix. I think I will have to invent the recipe for myself: fortunately I have the week off to study for exams!

I made some mint julep ice cream for a Kentucky Derby party this year. It was, apparently, quite a hit, although I'd had a few too many mint juleps to drink by the time dessert rolled around to fully appreciate it.

twine42, I believe you're thinking of Yerba Buena And I love this post. It's sad my mother's generation just settled for Geritol and rum balls. :-)

Mmm, I like making margarita cheesecake. (Substitute pretzel crumbs for the graham crust, lots of lime juice, Cointreau and tequila in the mix).
