Stop Taking Shots and Eat Your Cocktails!

Mmmm beer cake.

I love drinking alcohol, but weekend after weekend of beer pong and vodka shots can get old. So I got to thinking…how can I spice up my weekly binge drinking sesh?

I hit the web in search of some “unique,” “fun” alcohol ideas, and out of these keywords came the most glorious idea I have ever heard.

Cake-tails.

It seemed so simple. Why had I never thought of this before? Why drink my calories when I can kill two birds with one stone? Gobble down baked goods from the snack table while still getting my drink on?

Within minutes I had an entire list of cocktail inspired recipes and alcohol based desserts that I knew my friends would be all over. (No seriously, if they tackled my kitchen table I wouldn’t be surprised).

So here are some of my favorites. Try them out for your next girls’ night or bring it to the house party on Saturday. (If you’re feeling particularly adventurous, make 20 mini bunt cakes for a delicious Beer Pong game.) You will most definitely be everyone’s favorite guest. Let’s be real, who is going to say no to alcohol-and-dessert-in-one? That’s right, absolutely no one.

Plus, our favorite girly cocktails can continue to live on despite the fact that the cutest thing we can drink in a beer-soaked-frat-house is a jello shot – and even that’s a luxury.

Oh and forget the milk. If you still haven’t reached your desired blood alcohol level, nothing goes better with these desserts than an ice cold glass of vodka.

    doesn't the alcohol cook out of it?

    yeah the alcohol would cook out, like any other recipe that cooks with alcohol?

    I would assume that it's in the frosting or something that isn't cooked.

    Even if the alcohol portion isn't cooked, since it would all just burn off anyway, eating something as absorbent as cake with your booze would prevent you from getting a buzz. Sorry to rain on your parade.

    I would just try making some indulgent cocktails, like a German Chocolate Cake shot or a White Russian (I just realized these would both be great for a cross-cultural group I'm in…I see a party on the horizon). There are also some recipes for drinks containing actual chocolate online, and my wonderful friend recently bought me some pre-mixed chocolate shots.
