        How to Make Tequila Lime Buttercream<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        You could frost these margarita cupcakes with any frosting<\/a> that you like, but using tequila lime buttercream makes them extra special.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        To make it, use a basic buttercream recipe<\/strong>. Instead of flavoring it with vanilla extract, use lime zest<\/strong> and a little tequila<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        For those of you who like your margaritas with a salted rim<\/a>, I highly recommend sprinkling a mixture of kosher salt<\/strong> and coarse sugar<\/strong> over the frosting. It makes your margarita cupcakes sparkle and also helps gives them their distinct margarita flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n
