Grand GoldCupcakes
"Adapted from New Mexico Magazine. And the "Gold" in the title is referring to our friend, Mr. Tequila. Yep, these babies have a little nip or two in them. Of course, the hooch will evaporate during the baking process, but the flavor that you get will inspire you to get out your maracas and fire up the Mariachi Band! But wait, that's not all. This recipe also calls for some Grand Marnier, too. It just keeps getting better and better. Right? And, if you are worried about the tea-totalers in your life, don't. If you keep your lips zipped, they will never know. They'll only think they are the best cupcakes ever!..."
