Along with the Strawberry Daiquiri’s cute umbrellas, I especially like the Rum and Coke accessory–a mini lime and cherry on a pick.

Rum and Coke Cupcakes

In a large saucepan, melt chocolate, butter, and rum in a bring to a boil. Remove from heat and add Coca-cola. Add mixture to a large bowl and add flour, sugar and a pinch of salt. Mix well.
