Margarita Cupcakes

Margarita Cupcakes

A summertime staple!

For this Florida girl, nothing beats a nice summer day outside catching some rays. However, the same sun that provides some much needed soul-lifting, can also wear you down! Enter- a frosty Margarita with its limey-lovey goodness! There is just something about the salty-sour-sweet combination that perfectly compliments those sun-filled days!

 Well, these cupcakes capture the very essence of summer (and that superb cocktail) in each fluffy bite! I was trying to decide on what to bring to a friend Angie's Margarita party a couple of weeks ago; I thought I had settled on a dozen different recipes, but nothing seemed to fit!!! Eventually I decided nothing would do except a cupcake infused with margarita! I was elated to find this recipe from a favorite blog, Brown Eyed Baker! I quickly whipped up a batch to accompany me at the margarita party, and to my delight - they were a HUGE hit! 

The citrusy lightness of this cupcake pairs perfectly with Mexican tequila. As these fluffy little lovelies wrap up in the oven, they are brushed once more with tequila. They are cooled, then topped with a tequila-lime frosting. Did I mention they are made with tequila and lime?! I can't think of a better way to spend a steamy Florida summer then enjoying one of these citrusy treats! What is your favorite summer indulgence?
