I absolutely loved this pie. Sort of a grown up key lime. Not at all too rich for me! I made it with limes from my tree and skipped the food coloring because I didn't have any. I had to sub Ritz crackers for the crust because the pretzels are sometimes hard to find where I live. Next time I make it I'll for sure buy them. Thank you Mama! Made for Bev Tag

Yum! Cool and creamy, the perfect dessert for TexMex. Just enough tequila and triple sec for flavor without being overpowering. Used butter, fresh key lime juice, and some wonderful $50 tequila that I borrowed from a friend Thanks for sharing the recipe!

What a fabulous & easy dessert. I followed the recipe & got a great result. We had leftovers today with ice cream, which balanced nicely with the salty flavour away. Great end to our Mexican dinner party. Thanks Mama for sharing this keeper.
