1
Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease a 12-count muffin tin or line with muffin liners. Set aside.
2
In a large bowl, sift flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Mix well and set aside.
3
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix canola oil and sugar on medium-high speed until well combined. Reduce the mixer speed to medium and slowly add eggs until just blended. Add lime juice, zest, one tablespoon tequila and vanilla extract. Continue mixing.
4
With the mixer on low, slowly add half the flour mixture; mix until just blended. Add sour cream and mix until just blended. Slowly add remaining flour mixture, scraping down sides of the bowl with a spatula as necessary until just blended.
5
Divide batter evenly among prepared muffin cups. Transfer muffin tin to oven and bake for 15 to 18 minutes. Transfer muffin tin to a wire rack.
6
While the cupcakes are still warm, brush their tops with the remaining tablespoon of tequila. Let cupcakes cool completely.
7
To prepare cream cheese frosting, place all ingredients (except sanding sugar) in a mixing bowl. Beat until pale and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
8
Frost the cupcakes with the buttercream. Sprinkle with green sanding sugar and serve.
