How to make Vanilla Cupcake co*cktail Recipe

Todays co*cktails are simple to create. The trick is to find an open top glass which allows for enough space to decorate the rims. I found these at the local dollar store, and they are actually ice cream dishes, but I think they’re just perfect for this fun co*cktail!

Prepare serving glasses 1-3 hours ahead of serving time and allow them to set up firm.
