Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a cupcake tin with paper liners.

- Mix in the lime juice, tequila, and lime zest.
- Add the dry ingredients in three batches, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool completely before frosting.
