I’m going to call these “Fiesta Cups” because it’s my personal belief that when you serve tequila in hollowed-out fruit set on a retro deviled egg platter…well, that’s a party, right there.
FIESTA CUPS
1. Hollow out halved limes (reserve the juice and pulp). This is vastly easier if you happen to have a grapefruit spoon laying around. I don’t, so I used a serrated knife, which seemed both unnecessarily messy and surely dangerous. Don’t do that.
2. Dip the rims of each halved lime in coarse salt.
3. Set the salted limes in your fabulous Fire King egg platter. (If you don’t happen to own one already, try eBay; if you’re feeling impatient, Crate & Barrel carries a pretty, simple version.)
4. Carefully strain a little bit of fresh lime juice into each hollowed-out lime, and then top with good-quality tequila.
Note: If you’d prefer to serve these on a regular (flat) platter, make sure to take a little slice off of the underside of each halved lime, so that they sit upright.
Oh, and if you’d rather fill your deviled egg platter with deviled eggs than with tequila, click here for some tips.
