Ingredients
  

For the Margarita

  • 20 ml Cointreau
  • 10 ml lime juice
  • ice some crushed if you like your drink chilled

For the Batter of Eggnog Muffins

  • 1/4 cup Butter
  • 3/4 cup Sugar
  • 2 eggs large
  • 2 and 1/2 cups all purpose flour / maida
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon nutmeg ground
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla flavor or eggnog flavor
  • 1 and 1/4 cup eggnog

For the Topping of Eggnog Muffins

  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup all purpose flour / maida
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/8 teaspoon eggnog flavor optional
  • 3 tablespoons butter melted
  • 1 teaspoon dried black currants optional

Instructions
 

Margarita

  • Shake all the ingredients in a cocktail shaker and pour with sieve leaving behind the ice... cheers... to Sin-A-Mon :)

Eggnog Muffins

  • Preheat the oven to 425 F. Line a muffin tin with 12 paper or silicone muffin cups, and grease the cups with non-stick vegetable oil spray; this will ensure that they peel off the muffins nicely.
  • In a medium-sized mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar till smooth. Add the eggs, beating for several minutes and scraping the bowl, till the mixture is smooth and light colored. Beat in the baking powder, nutmeg, salt, and eggnog flavor or vanilla.
  • Stir the flour into the butter mixture alternately with the eggnog or half and half, beginning and ending with the flour and making sure everything is thoroughly combined. Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups.
  • Stir together all of the topping ingredients JUST till crumbly. Stir gently, and don't overmix; you don't want to turn this crumbly topping into a solid mass. Sprinkle the topping over the muffins.
  • Bake the muffins for 20 minutes, or until they're a pale golden brown. Remove them from the oven, and serve warm, or at room temperature.
