These cupcakes were so good! The margarita flavor was not too strong, and the key lime icing was the perfect complement. I will definitely be making these again.

These cupcakes were easy to make and turned out great! The only thing I would change is to use a different type of frosting. The key lime frosting was a bit too tart for my taste.

I was a bit hesitant to try these cupcakes because I'm not a big fan of margaritas, but I'm glad I did! The cupcakes were moist and flavorful, and the key lime icing was the perfect balance of sweet and tangy. I will definitely be making these again.

I love the idea of these cupcakes, but I found that they were a bit too boozy for my taste. Next time, I'll try using less tequila or omitting it altogether.

These cupcakes were easy to make and turned out great! The only thing I would change is to use a little less lime juice in the icing, as it was a bit too tart for my taste.

I'm not a huge fan of margaritas, but these cupcakes were surprisingly good! The cupcake itself was moist and flavorful, and the key lime icing was the perfect balance of sweet and tangy.
