These Negroni Cupcakes are a wonderfully delicious way to turn this classic drink into dessert. The cupcakes feature all three of the basic ingredients from the cocktail.
The cupcake batter includes both Campari and sweet vermouth, which bring their unique flavors to the buttery cupcake batter. The cupcakes are topped with a gin-spiked buttercream. If you’re a gin fan, you’ll love the frosting. If you’re not a gin fan, you’ll probably love the frosting anyway.
