KEY LIME MARGARITA

Steps:

• First things first, set out all of the ingredients and alcohol you are going to be using to prepare this cocktail on your kitchen counter. By taking the time to create a preparation space prior to beginning to make your Key Lime Margaritas, you will ensure that you have everything that you'll need set out in front of you, while also preventing your kitchen from getting overly messy. The last thing you'll want is to have to spend ages cleaning up when all you want to do is enjoy your margarita - it's best to keep everything in one spot!
• Grab your cocktail shaker and pour in all of the ingredients. Depending on how many people you're making margaritas for, the number of ingredients that you'll need will vary. However, if you're preparing one portion, then you will need to add 2 ounces of lime juice, half an ounce of agave, 2 ounces of triple sec, and a dash of tequila.
• Set your shaker to the side for a moment and prepare a plate full of salt. Then, take each margarita glass and dip their rims into the water, before then placing it into the salt to coat the edges of the glass. Add ice, and pour the contents of the cocktail shaker into each glass.
• If you would like to garnish your Key Lime Margaritas, then we recommend that you take a slice of lime, cut it slightly and then place it on the side of each margarita glass. This will add a sophisticated touch and make your Key Lime Margaritas look more polished and professional.

KEY LIME MARGARITA PIE

Steps:

• Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9-inch pie pan with cooking spray.
• Put the graham crackers, brown sugar and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Process until the graham crackers have broken down into fine crumbs. Add the coconut oil and process until combined; the mixture will resemble very wet sand. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan, using the back of a flat-bottomed glass or measuring cup to press the crust firmly into the bottom and up the sides of the pan.
• Combine the egg yolks and condensed milk in a large bowl and whisk to combine. Add the lime juice and tequila and whisk until smooth.
• Spread the filling evenly over the crust. Bake until the filling is just set and only slightly jiggles in the center, 20 to 25 minutes, rotating the pan once halfway through baking. Let cool slightly on a wire rack for 20 minutes, and then chill in the refrigerator until completely cooled, at least 4 hours and up to overnight.
• Right before serving, whisk the heavy cream and confectioners' sugar in a large bowl on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 2 minutes. Add the orange liqueur and whisk until the cream reaches medium stiff peaks, 1 to 2 minutes, being careful not to overmix.
• Remove from the refrigerator and sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Spread the whipped cream on top, then cut into 8 to 10 pieces and serve.

KEY LIME MARGARITA PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• To make the pretzel crust, combine the crushed pretzels, graham crackers, sugar, and melted butter. Once the mixture is combined, spread the mixture evenly into a 9-inch pie tin. Press the mixture in the tin onto the bottom and the sides to form a firm even crust. Bake for 5 minutes until the edges are lightly browned. Let shell cool until needed.
• For the filling, use a large mixing bowl, and combine the sweetened condensed milk, limeade, tequila, orange liqueur, and food coloring if desired, until all ingredients are well mixed. In a medium size bowl, beat the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Fold the whipped cream into the lime and tequila mixture. Spoon the filling into the pie shell, cover and freeze for 4 hours or until firm.
• To serve, let pie stand for 10 minutes after coming out of freezer. Slice pie and garnish with lime slices.
