How To Redeem a Silly Drinking Game: Slightly Tipsy Vodka Cupcakes With “Bros Icing Bros” Icing

There are a lot of jerks in the world. Hopefully you’ve been left in the dark and not forced to participate in the short-lived tradition of Bros Icing Bros. A drinking game, which was quickly shut down by Smirnoff Vodka, involves handing a bottle of Smirnoff Ice to the victim and forcing the victim to take a knee and chug the entire bottle. Smirnoff Ice is known as an extremely sweet and easy to drink beverage but its association with underage kids makes it a punishment to drink.

We definitely had to “ice some bros” at the Broetry Slam but since drinking games aren’t exactly praised in public, respectable places like National Mechanics, I had to get slightly clever. Move over already shut down by Smirnoff, Bros Icing Bros, it’s time for Slightly Tipsy Vodka Cupcakes with Bros Icing Bros Icing.

In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and creamy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.

Bros Icing Bros Icing

3/4 cup of butter
1 Tablespoon of vodka
3 cups of confectioner’s sugar

Cream together butter and vodka. Beat in confectioner’s sugar half a cup at a time.

Assembling

Once the cupcakes are at room temperature and the gelatin shots are ready, using a small circular cookie cutter, remove the center of each cupcake.

Fill it in with some gelatin shot.

Top with icing.

You can make mini cupcakes out of these, they work a little better for “icing.”
