    I had never been a beer drinker, and then I tasted Blue Moon. The flavors of the orange peel and coriander are so delicious, and that slice of orange served with it gives it the perfect amount of sweetness.

    Even if you don't like beer, you will love these cupcakes. And your beer-loving friends will be over the moon! (Okay, I may have overdone it there...)

    I was trying to think of a new cupcake flavor and beer came to mind. Could we make Blue Moon Boozy Cupcakes? We could and we did!

      I notice you mentioned loving the coriander, but I don’t see it in the recipe. Is it optional, or is it a flavor in the beer?
