Cocktail Cupcakes: Champagne Cupcakes Recipes

This champagne cupcakes recipe makes a boozy dessert perfection for New Year’s Eve, graduation parties, birthdays and more!

Another year has come and gone and a new year is around the corner. My absolute favorite thing to bake for New Year’s Eve celebrations is champagne cupcakes. What better way to ring in the new year than with a boozy dessert?

This champagne cupcakes recipe is a twist on my vanilla cupcakes recipe. Champagne is added to both the cake batter and the frosting for an extra boozy dessert. Sometimes I brush the cupcakes with champagne if I want to give the dessert a real kick!
