Tequila Sunrise Cupcakes. A cupcake recipe inspired by the cocktail with orange juice, grenadine and tequila decorated with two-tone frosting and maraschino cherry.\u00a0\u00a0A new recipe by our\u00a0contributor,\u00a0Lindsay Conchar<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Tequila<\/p>\n

I am a cocktail girl. I also love my sweets. So turning a cocktail into a cupcake is right up my alley. Tequila Sunrise is one of the first cocktails that I fell in love with. For those who haven\u2019t ever had the cocktail, it\u2019s a combination of orange juice, grenadine and tequila. I love the sweetness paired with the tequila. Plus, the orange juice makes me feel like I\u2019m being a little bit healthy. \u263a<\/p>\n

These cupcakes are light, fluffy and fun version of the classic cocktail. The cupcake is flavored with fresh squeezed orange juice and orange zest which gives it the most wonderful citrusy orange flavor. I chose not to color the batter, but feel free to add a little orange coloring if you\u2019d like. I also added a bit of tequila to both the cupcake and the frosting.<\/p>\n

The frosting is a combination of both orange and cherry buttercreams swirled together for a fun multi-colored cupcake. The orange frosting has a little bit of fresh squeezed orange juice and orange zest, and the cherry frosting is flavored with grenadine. I added a touch of orange icing color to the orange frosting, but the pink shade of the cherry frosting is all from the grenadine. Feel free to add more color to the frosting if you want a bolder swirl.<\/p>\n

I added the frosting to two separate, smaller piping bags, then put both of those bags into a large piping bag fitted with a large closed star tip. The two bags combined into one does a great job of keeping the colors from combining before being piped onto the cupcakes.<\/p>\n

\"Tequila<\/p>\n

The cupcakes are topped with a cherry and slice of orange, to give the full cocktail effect! They make a really fun presentation and feel like summer in a cupcake. They are light and delicious and make me feel like I should be sipping my tequila sunrise cocktail and eating a cupcake right by the pool.<\/p>\n
