The Lower East Side's Prohibition Bakery began making its original alcohol-infused cupcakes in 2011, and flavors like Old Fashioned, Sangria, and Pretzels and Beer have been flying off the shelves ever since.

And yes, you need to show an I.D. to purchase a cupcake. Virgin flavors are available for the under-21 crowd.
