These Andes Mint Boozy Cupcakes are a fun, minty, and adult-only twist on a classic dessert. Infused with Creme de Menthe and Creme de Cocoa, and topped with minty green frosting and mini chocolate chips, they’re perfect for summer parties or festive celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 vanilla cupcakes (from your favorite recipe)
  • 1/4 cup Creme de Menthe
  • 1/4 cup Creme de Cocoa
  • 1 can vanilla frosting (your favorite brand)
  • 1 tsp mint extract
  • 510 drops green food coloring
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
  • Tools:
  • Large star piping tip
  • Piping bag

Instructions

  1. Combine the Creme de Menthe and Creme de Cocoa in a small mixing bowl and stir until blended.
  2. Use a large decorating tip to make a hole in the center of each cupcake. Reserve the top of the removed piece.
  3. Spoon 1–2 teaspoons of the boozy mixture into each cupcake hole, then replace the reserved top.
  4. Mix the mint extract into the vanilla frosting until evenly incorporated.
  5. Fill a piping bag with a small amount of uncolored frosting, if desired, for a swirl effect.
  6. Add 5–10 drops of green food coloring to the remaining frosting and stir until evenly green.
  7. Fill the piping bag with the green frosting and pipe in a swirl pattern: inside to outside, then back toward the center.
  8. Sprinkle with mini chocolate chips and serve immediately or chill slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of liquor to your taste or omit for a kid-friendly version.
  • Use homemade or store-bought vanilla cupcakes and frosting for convenience.
  • Refrigerate before serving if you prefer a firmer frosting and stronger flavor infusion.
  • Great for summer parties, mint lovers, or St. Patrick’s Day treats.
