Directions:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
2. Make the Cupcake Batter:
o In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
o In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
o Mix in the buttermilk, lime juice, lime zest, and tequila (if using) until combined.

3. Bake the Cupcakes:
o Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.

4. Make the Frosting:
o In a medium bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, mixing until well combined.
o Mix in the mango puree, strawberry puree, lime juice, lime zest, and a pinch of salt. Beat until smooth and fluffy.
5. Frost the Cupcakes:
