Juicy, tropical fruit is a refreshing finale to a meal high on flavor. Cut the fruit in the morning and refrigerate, then sprinkle on tequila an hour before eating. Skewer right before serving.

Ingredients

  • ¼ watermelon (2 pounds)

  • 1 mango, peeled

  • 3 oranges

  • ½ cup tequila reposada

  • 1 tablespoon lime zest

Directions

  1. Cut watermelon and mango into 1-inch cubes. Slice off rind and pith from oranges; cut in half lengthwise, place flat sides down, and cut into semicircles. Place all fruit in a large dish and sprinkle with tequila. Set aside for up to an hour. Grate lime zest over fruit. Skewer and serve.
