June Box: Summer Cocktails

Hi friends! I know I’m a little later than usual, so I’ll skip the rambling and get to it! 😆

Ok so listen, I’ll be straight with you here: the flavors this month are not really for kids. 😅 I know some of you share these macarons with your children, but these were catered more to an adult palette. I did actually put real alcohol in some of them, but I simmered it on the stove first, to make the flavor more concentrated. I think this also burns off the alcohol, but please proceed with caution!

Alright, now let’s dive into these cocktail-inspired flavors!

Blackberry Mule

Ginger macarons, filled with ginger/lime/rum/blackberry buttercream and a little dab of tart blackberry lime curd

(This one does not contain real rum. I used rum extract.)

Old Fashioned

Macarons flavored with aromatic bitters, filled with whiskey buttercream, flavored with hints of cherry, orange, and bitters

(Strawberry) Mojito

Lime macarons, filled with mint-lime buttercream with a hint of strawberry

Peach Bourbon

Peach macarons, filled with peach-bourbon buttercream

Piña Colada

Pineapple macarons, topped with shredded coconut, filled with pineapple-coconut-rum buttercream

Watermelon Margarita

Watermelon flavored macarons, filled with watermelon-lime buttercream and lime curd

The special treat this month is a blueberry muffin cookie. I used dried blueberries. They are not raisins. They are also not chocolate chips, so don’t be mad at me if you think you’re about to bite into a chocolate chip cookie. 😆

Ok that’s it for June! Next month’s theme is inspired by 4th of July/Summer barbecues!

Love you all! 😘
