Imagine my surprise and utter delight when I saw this post over at Hostess Blog – Margarita Cupcakes with Lime Frosting. I can’t wait to try these….I think they’ll be perfect for my cinco de Juilo celebration (aka my birthday!).

I have a few other margarita dessert recipes I’ve been wanting to try for a long time -

Ms. Martha’s cheesecake and Popsicles:
3/4 c sugar
3/4 c lime juice
1/2 c water
2 T lemon juice
2 T OJ
2 T Tequilla
2 T Grand Marnier or Triple Sec
4 small dixie cups
4 Popsicle sticks
Salt, for garnish

Combine sugar, lime juice, H20, lemon juice and OJ in a small sauce pan over medium heat. Cook stirring until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Once cool, transfer to blender with tequila, orange liqueur and process until smooth. Pour into cups and cover with foil. Place stick through foil. Freeze overnight. Remove from freezer, remove foil and run under warm water to loosen from cup. Garnish with salt.
