This is just a beautiful vodka - tart, and flecked with little bits of berry. Hangar One makes one batch a year each June, when the berries are ripe. What better story is there than that? Genius. If you can find it, buy it. Otherwise, there are many other lovely raspberry vodkas out there. You may even have one in your cupboard already.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ERegarding color, there are but a few times a year when we like to use food coloring at JSTK, and Valentines is one of them.

Just chill the raspberry layer in the fridge until mostly set, but slightly sticky when touched, then add the slightly cooled marshmallow layer, and refrigerate for several hours or overnight and slice up for serving.

I like to use Duncan Hines white cake mix, and I add one extra egg white, which makes it somehow more dense AND more fluffy. It is a great mix for this recipe because it is a very basic cake – and it will be loaded up with lots of flavorful gelatin goodness!\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ERegarding saturation with the jello mixture, I like a consistent batch of cupcakes - so I have a bit of a method. For the first color of gelatin mix, I poke a 4-cornered square with one in the center. And with the second color, I poke 4 holes, kind of in-between each of the corners. Yeah, I know - pretty kooky - however, this way everything has a pretty consistent look, and is generally evenly saturated.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"color: #686868; font-size: 14px; min-height: 18px;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"color: #686868; font-size: 14px;\"\u003EThe stabilized whipped frosting is an old farm recipe I found in an old cookbook.

And that cute bird on the Louisville logo has that nice yellow beak. The whole sprinkle situation was a comedy of errors from the get-go. A large sprinkle wheel was purchased for the purposes of this post, as naturally it held every rainbow color, but lo and behold, where the blue ought to be ... PURPLE. Which even I know would be a faux pas. So I hand selected the blue sprinkles for the tops of the Kentucky shots from my mixed rainbow sprinkles. \u003Ci\u003E(Yes. with my actual hands.
