I have used rum extract, almond extract, anise extract, and a bit of whiskey or vodka, or nothing at all, in place of vanilla in many different recipes including frosting. All without substantially causing a failure in the recipe. [The peppermint frosting went on chocolate cupcakes.] The vanilla is only to give the frosting a flavor other than just bland.

Experiment at will.
