8 ounces, fluid Margarita Mix
3 ounces, fluid Tequila (about A Shot)
1 Tablespoon Orange Juice
1 box (18.25 Oz. Box) White Cake Mix
4 whole Eggs
2 Tablespoons Canola Oil
1 whole Lime, Zested

FOR THE FROSTING:
1/2 cups Butter, Softened (1 Stick)
2 cups Powdered Sugar
1 Tablespoon Tequila
1 Tablespoon Whole Milk
1 whole Lime, Zest And Juice

1
Cupcakes:
2
Preheat oven to 350F. Line cupcake pan with paper liners.
3
In a large cup, mix margarita mix, tequila and orange juice. In a large bowl, add cake mix, eggs, oil and the 1 1/4 cup of mixed margarita (you should have a little left over). Mix until combined; don't worry if the batter is a little lumpy.
4
Using an ice cream scoop, fill cupcake liners (one scoop per cupcake). Bake for 25 minutes.
5
Let cupcakes cool for 5 minutes in the pan, then remove and allow to cool completely on rack.
6
Frosting:
7
In a large bowl, cream butter. Add powdered sugar, tequila, whole milk and lime zest and juice. Beat until well combined and smooth. If icing seems too runny, just add a little more powdered sugar until a good consistency is met.
8
Use a piping bag or a spatula to slather this delicious icing on your cupcakes. (One of the girls at work said the icing was the best part-she said it made you forget you were eating a cupcake.)
9
I didn't put that much frosting on each cupcake, so you might want to double the recipe if you're looking to slather it on heavy!
