"It did a happy dance in my mouth!" said my mother-in-law after tasting my pomegranate mojito cupcakes. I couldn't have said it better myself. But what kind of dance? I'd say a Lindy Hop. The sweetness of PAMA Pomegranate Liqueur combined with the tangy sourness of mint*, rum, and lime reminds me of a high energy couple bouncing around the dance floor, occasionally doing flips and throws to the thrill of the crowd (perhaps I have an overactive imagination).
Cooking With PAMA
I made these pomegranate mojito cupcakes as an entry into the Cooking with PAMA Contest. If I win When I win, I get to go to the Food and Wine Classic in Aspen! I wanted to wait until I had a cupcake that I really thought could win before entering - this pomegranate mojito cupcake is it! Voting will begin on November 16th (don't worry, I'll remind you).
BTW - Isn't the PAMA bottle gorgeous! Jonathan couldn't resist taking its photo.

*I know that I said I would never make a cupcake with mint, but mint is growing on me and I really should never say never.

Wow, my mouth is watering just reading about it! I love pomegranates and mint. I could probaly cancel lunch with my sister tomorrow so I can make these. :)
Thank you!!
Beautiful cupcakes! I would love to try these one day. And you are right, that bottle is lovely.
Those, sound delicious!
I wonder if these could be made with pomegranate juice instead of the liqueur???
Never thought of making pomegranate cupcakes. Sounds delicious!
Mmm these sound and look delish! I'm so happy it's pomegranate season! I have two in my fridge right now! You can't beat $1.50/ea!
If I thought I could buy Pama anywhere near Smalltown, GA (a dry county), I would swap my weekend cupcake recipe for this one in a heartbeat. I've been dying to make a mojito cupcake, but adding Pama sounds amazing and too good to put off.
Oh gods, I am all over these cupcakes. Why, oh why, do I have to be making carrot cake for a birthday this weekend, when I could be making these? Mojitos and pomegranate, wow! And yes, the bottle is gorgeous, too.
Okay, first of all...
I LOVE An American Tail (so props for the video, haha)
I'm going to HAVE to make these... (but with Pom instead...I'm underage :P )
mmm..that looks yummmm!
Glad you guys liked these! Let me know if you try them!
Anon - If you couldn't get the liqueur, I'm imagine that Pom would work just fine.
The PAMA bottle is indeed pretty, but it was too tall to fit on my bar shelves, so I gave it away.
