Tequila Lime Frosting

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted bnutter, softened to room temperature
  • 4 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 3 tablespoons tequila
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons lime extract
  • 2-3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream

Instructions

  • In a large mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whisk the butter at high speed until completely smooth and creamy, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the confectioners' sugar gradually at low speed, then increase to high speed once blended. Add whipping cream and whisk at high speed until fluffy. Add tequila, vanilla and lime falvoring and whisk to incorporate.

Notes

You can substitute 1 tablespoon of lime oil for the lime extract but don't use lime juice because the flavor is not strong enough.
