Reviewing Tequila Sunrise Cupcakes
For all my alcohol and cupcake lovers, this one is for you! I tried this recipe awhile ago and I was nervous that I wasn't going to like it because I usually don't like to work with alcohol, but man were these cupcakes good! Here is the recipe and my thoughts on it!

2. Cream butter and sugar together until light in color and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Add sour cream, vanilla, and orange zest and mix together.

These cupcakes are definitely one for the alcohol type. They are great for a summer party or anything along those lines. I thought they were pretty good, but I am for sure a chocolate fan so they weren't my favorite. I think that if you are a orange lover and like alcohol then these are for you. If you are more of a chocolate fan, then I would go with a different option. Hopefully these were something you were looking for! Like I said, a summer party would be great!
