Margarita Frosting Shots

Happy Hour never tasted so good.

Cheers to to butter, sugar, cream cheese and… tequila!

These frosting shots are perfectly portioned so that you get enough for your frosting fix, but not so much that you’ve devoured an entire bowl of cream cheese icing… because face it, it can happen.
