One Tequila, Two Tequila, Three Tequila, FLOOR!

Cupcakes aren't just for kids, adults can have fun with them too. And the best way to get loose after a long week of work or the stress of family life is to enjoy a shot or a glass of wine with your girls and guy friends (responsibly)

Here's a recipe you can make with your girls or make before hand to share before a night out or a girly night in. It does contain alcohol so try and consume before kids come home

Cupcakes

Ingredients

• 9 ounces Margarita Mixer, bottled liquid 
• 3 ounces tequila 
• 3/4 ounce Grand Marnier 
• 1 (18.25 ounce) box white cake mix 
• 3 large egg whites 
• 2 Tablespoons canola oil 
• 1 Tablespoon lime zest

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (190°C). Line two dozen cupcake tins with paper liners.
2. Whisk together margarita mix, tequila and Grand Marnier in a small bowl. Measure out 1 1/4 cups for the recipe; pour the rest on some ice and drink it while making the cupcakes :)
3. In a large bowl, blend cake mix, egg whites, vegetable oil, lime zest and 1 1/4 cups of the margarita mix from step 1. Blend on low for about 30 seconds and then increase speed to medium and blend for two additional minutes. Batter will be slightly lumpy.Spoon the batter into cupcake liners (about 3/4 full). Bake for 20-25 min, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Let cupcakes cool for about 10 minutes in the pans, then remove them to a rack to cool completely.

Lime Buttercream Icing

• 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 5 to 6 cups powdered sugar
• 2 Tablespoons lime juice, freshly squeezed
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon lime zest
• green food coloring, if desired
• small lime slices for garnish, if desired

Place butter in a large bowl and beat with electric mixer until butter is fluffy. Add 5 cups of powdered sugar, salt, lime juice, and lime zest. Mix until thick and creamy. Add more powdered sugar until the frosting is of a good spreading (or piping) consistency. Mix in a tiny amount of green food coloring or gel paste if you'd like the frosting to have a green tint. Ice cupcakes in whatever manner you prefer... spreading or piping the frosting. Use small lime slices as garnish.

If you are enjoying it with your girls or having it for a party you can liven things up and add their own personal shot

 Enjoy yourself as usual and like I say get crunk and get wild.
