Dark And Stormy Apple Cupcakes Recipe 465

Steps:

• Preheat oven 350 degrees Cupcakes In a medium sized bowl whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, ginger and nutmeg. Set aside. In a mixer fitted with a paddle, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. On lowest speed add egg and vanilla until incorporated. Next, peel, core and finely chop apples. Zest one lime, cut in half and squeeze the juice of half the lime (reserve other half for frosting). Mix the lime zest and lime juice with apples. Pour apples in to the mixer and mix to incorporate. Slowly add dry ingredients scraping down the sides. Spoon batter in to lined cupcake pan. Bake 20 minutes. Remove and cool completely. Frosting Using a hand or stand mixer beat butter adding small amounts (about 1/4 cup) of powdered sugar at a time. Beat frosting until creamy. Finally, beat the vanilla, rum and reserved lime juice in to frosting. Spoon frosting in to a piping bag and frost cupcakes. Yields 12 cupcakes

Steps:

• Put all the ingredients in a Collins or Highball glass over lots of ice, stir gently and garnish with a wedge of lime. 3 TWISTSOrange muleBring a sunburst of citrus to the brooding dark & stormy by making it with two dashes of orange bitters instead. Angostura orange bitters will give the drink more spicy, marmalade notes, while Bitter Truth orange bitters taste much more of freshly-peeled orange zest. Then make the drink as normal and garnish with a lime wedge. Minty muleTake inspiration from the mojito and mix up a dark & stormy twist with 50ml dark rum, 25ml lime juice, bitters and ginger beer served over crushed ice, garnished with a wedge of lime and a fragrant sprig of mint (for best results, give the mint a clap between your palms before tucking it into the drink as this will help to release the aromatic oils). Then add two straws and enjoy. Mexican muleTequila really loves ginger and lime and all three come together beautifully in this Mexican twist on the mule. Just make the drink as normal but instead of rum, use a nice lightly-aged reposado tequila like Ocho or Olmeca Altos - it will give the drink a whole new layer of interest.
