Vegan Margarita Cupcakes
A new year is coming, and it’s all about going out with fun recipes! While I don’t drink anything but the occasional wine, I love a good Margarita Cupcake!
Back in 2014 in our tiny NYC apartment, this was one of the first recipes I produced. Now that I think about it, it was probably the first cupcake I ever did period lol. Fast forward to today, and I wanted to whip up something indulgent for the New Years. I just knew this was the perfect opportunity to take a trip down memory lane and recreate this recipe. The only thing that is the same with this recipe, is the aesthetics, and it came out so good!
Don’t like tequila? Me neither! However, there is something fab about slight notes in a cupcake just like I love a lil white wine in dishes!
What’s great about this recipe, is just everything! It’s quick, easy, requires no vegan eggs, is packed with a rich lime flavor, buttery soft, has notes of tequila, you can skip the tequila altogether if desired, it packs 1/4 cup less sugar than most typical cupcake recipes, it has aesthetic appeal, is perfect for the summer, perfect for entertaining, and even a gorgeous green hue that’s naturally derived!!
If you love fun modern vegan cupcakes, you have to try these vegan Margarita Cupcakes!!
Why this recipe is great:
Quick
Easy
Affordable
Packed with lime
Has notes of tequila
Uses natural food coloring
Aesthetic appeal

Great recipie, exited to try them out! Do you use canned coconut milk or coconut milk that´s drinakble? Got a bit confused since it states that you can use almond milk in stead.
Awe, yay! This is one of my favorite recipes that I plan to add a tutorial to! You can use canned coconut milk or almond milk.
Do you think the icing would hold up for a couple hours outside? Also, can you use any vegan butter, or does Earth Balance butter work best? Thanks!
Do I have to use coconut oil or can I substitute with something else?
Hi Dora! You can absolutely use any oil you prefer. I’m hoping to remake these again as they were so good!!
This was an easy delicious recipe! I did minus the tequila since I don’t drink it and didn’t want to buy it for just a little bit. Definitely worth trying! My daughter loved them as well.
Looks so great,can i get the recipe in metric please
Made these for some friends for Cinco de Mayo and they got rave reviews. Lovely fresh lime flavour and great cupcake texture, would highly recommend!
These are mind-blowingly good! I don’t like tequila, but I love it in this recipe 🙂
Highly recommend this recipe to everyone!
When you double the recipe the almond milk remains the same, is that right?
