Thanksgiving is over and I'm starting to think about Christmas stuff, but I recently made these margarita cupcakes and am posting them before the holiday crafts and food take over and I forget! Or maybe you'll want these for a festive holiday party, another way to get a dose of alcohol LOL!
(JK, there isn't that much in here, no one's getting tipsy from these hahahah)
I doctored a lemon cake mix by adding 4 eggs, 1/2 cup melted butter, 1/2 water, 1/4 cup tequila, dash of vanilla; bake according to package instructions.
Frost the cupcakes with buttercream flavored with tequila and lime juice:
Beat together 1/2 cup unsalted butter, 4 cups powdered sugar, 1teaspoon vanilla, pinch coarse salt, 1 T. tequila, 1 T. lime juice, and 1 or 2 T. cream, half and half, or milk until you get the correct frosting consistency. Note you can change the liquid ingredients to more or less tequila and lime. I just added a little of each at a time until it tasted good then added cream to get the correct consistency.
After frosting a cupcake I rolled the edges in coarse white sugar to mimic a margarita glass rolled in salt. Then sprinkle lime zest on top.
