1

Margarita Madness

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with liners.

2

The Zesty Mix

In a bowl, mix together 1 and a half cups of all-purpose flour, 1 and a half teaspoons of baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Set it aside for a moment.

3

Citrus Fiesta

In a separate bowl, cream together 1/2 cup of softened unsalted butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 2 eggs, one at a time. Now, it's time to give this cupcake some serious zing! Stir in 1 teaspoon of lime zest, 1 teaspoon of lemon zest, and 2 tablespoons of tequila. Olé!

4

The Sip Test

It's taste test time, folks! Grab a spoon and take a tiny sip of your favorite margarita mix, just to make sure it's up to par. Quality control is essential!

5

Mix and Match

Add the flour mixture to the citrusy fiesta bowl, alternating with 1/4 cup of freshly squeezed lime juice. Begin and end with the flour mixture for a perfectly balanced cupcake batter.

6

Bake and Chill

Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners. Pop them in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Once they're baked to perfection, let them cool completely before moving on to the next step. Patience, my friend!

The Icing on the Cupcake

It's time to whip up the perfect frosting to complement these margarita marvels! In a bowl, cream together 1/2 cup of softened unsalted butter and 2 cups of powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Stir in 2 tablespoons of tequila and a squeeze of fresh lime juice. Spread or pipe the frosting onto the cooled cupcakes. If you're feeling fancy, garnish them with a sprinkle of lime zest or a lime wedge. ¡Que delicioso!
