Lemon Drop Cupcakes

Batter Ingredients:
• 1½ cups cake flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• ½ cup whole milk
• 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp lemon zest
• ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
• 2 tbsp Don Julio (Reposado or Añejo tequila)

Instructions:
1. In a bowl, whisk together cake flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
2. In a separate large bowl, blend the butter, sugar, and eggs together until smooth.
3. In a small cup, mix the fresh lemon juice into the milk and let it rest (this will slightly curdle to make a “buttermilk”).
4. Add half of the dry mixture into the butter mixture. Then pour in half of the lemon-milk mixture. Blend on medium speed until combined.
5. Add the remaining dry ingredients and the rest of the lemon-milk mixture. Blend until smooth.
6. Stir in the vanilla extract, tequila, and lemon zest until fully incorporated.
7. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
8. Line a 12-count muffin tin with cupcake liners. Fill each liner about ⅔ full with batter.
9. Bake for about 10 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
10. Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting.

Don Julio Buttercream Frosting

Ingredients:
• 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks), softened
• 2–3 cups powdered sugar (adjust for sweetness and thickness)
• 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt
• 3–4 tbsp Don Julio (Reposado or Añejo tequila)

Instructions:
1. Beat the softened butter until creamy.
2. Gradually add powdered sugar, ½ cup at a time, beating well after each addition.
3. Add the vanilla, salt, and tequila. Beat on medium-high speed until light and fluffy.
4. Adjust consistency with more powdered sugar (thicker) or a little extra tequila (thinner) if needed.
5. Frost the cooled cupcakes generously.
6. Garnish with extra lemon zest for a bright, fresh finish.
