Two Plus Two

A new store opened up in my neighborhood that specializes in cupcakes and cocktails. The cocktails are made with wine but the name fits and the owner is working under the parameters that if it sounds good they will come. And business is booming, especially her kids birthday parties where the little ones get to make pizza and decorate their own cupcakes while their caregivers enjoy a light libation and appetizer cupcakes. These cupcakes are fantastic with flavors like s'mores with toasted marshmallow, peach cobbler and double chocolate .The 'cocktails' also look tasty. Am I the only one willing to admit that this is a brilliant concept? Provided all drinking is done responsibly, of course. This is a combo that works, and it's not one you canget at a drive-thru. Perfect combinations are sought regularly; even Starbucks is using the word "pairings" in their marketing. Restaurants, clothing stores, music retailers all couple products that go well together in hopes of winning the shopper with a suggestive sale. What could you pair for her today?
