I got Patron in my Cup***cake

I have made these a few times and they pack a punch! 2 will set you right!

I know, I know I thought the same thing, tequila and sugar? YUKKK. BUT once all the ingredients are combined they taste like a Margarita. Trust me…..*wink*

Once you try em let me know what you think.

The Tequila Lime Frosting Recipe

* 1/4 cup butter or nonhydrogenated shortening, melted
* 1 tbsp heavy whipping cream or soymilk
* 3 tbsp lime juice
* 1 tbsp tequila
* 2+ cups confectioners’ sugar
* coarse sugar and salt for “rims”

Cream together butter/nonhydrogenated shortening (depending on whether you want the frosting vegan or not), heavy whipping cream or soymilk, lime juice, tequila, and 2 cups of confectioners’ sugar. Add in more sugar as needed to make the frosting smooth and spreadable. Spread on cupcakes and roll the edges in a small amount of coarse sugar and salt (poured into a small bowl, so it’s easy to direct it).

Darlish!!!
