Preparation:
Preheat oven to 350. Line cupcake pan with paper liners.
In a large cup mix margarita mix, tequila and orange juice.
In a large bowl add cake mix, eggs, oil and 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.
Using an ice cream scoop, fill cupcake liners (one scoop per).
Bake for 25 minutes.
Let cupcakes cool for 5 minutes in the pan, then remove and allow to cool completely on rack.
Icing:
In a large bowl cream butter. Add powdered sugar, tequila, whole milk and lime zest/juice- beat until well combined and smooth. If icing seems too runny just add a little more powdered sugar until good consistency is met.
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)
