Preheat the oven to 170°C / Gas 3 and place cupcake cases in a cupcake or muffin tin.
Place the butter, flour, sugar and baking powder into a large bowl and using a hand held or freestanding electric mixer, slowly mix together until it resembles breadcrumbs.
Mix together the egg, orange & lime juice, and milk in a jug then gradually add to the bowl. Mixing thoroughly then spoon into the cases until they are about 2/3 full.
Bake in the oven for 25 minutes or until the cakes are golden brown and a skewer comes out clean.
To make the frosting mix together the butter and icing sugar until it resembles breadcrumbs in texture, then add the milk and vodka and mix on a high speed until the frosting is soft and fluffy. Then add pink colouring until you have your desired colour.
Decorate the cupcakes with frosting using either a piping bag or palette knife and finish with a slice of lime.

"A great recipe that is easy to follow - made a lovely moist sponge and the icing was not too overpowering with the alcohol - was enjoyed by all!"
