Bourbon Peach Sweet Tea Frosting
- Beat butter till soft.
- Add in bourbon, peach juice, and sweet tea vodka. Then add in 4 cups of powdered sugar to start.
- Mix well. Continue adding powdered sugar until desired consistency is reached. If the frosting gets too thick, add small amounts of sweet tea vodka until desired consistency.
- If you want to add a peach coloring to the frosting, add a few drops of red and yellow food coloring.
- Frost the cooled cupcakes.
Notes
When folding the egg whites into the batter, fold gently to try to avoid deflating it too much in order to keep the cake light and fluffy.
If the buttercream is too soft, add a bit more powdered sugar to stiffen it up. If the frosting is too stiff, add a bit more sweet tea vodka to soften it.
