Served in a dessert goblet known as a coupe, this winter fruit salad gets extra grown-up flavor from the combination of tequila and lime. If the fruit macerates for longer than 1 hour, the juices will increasingly dilute the liquor. So taste before serving, and add more tequila for more kick and/or more lime juice for tartness.
Ingredients
- 21/2 Tbs. silver tequila
- 21/2 Tbs. sugar
- 1 Tbs. juice from Mexican or Key limes, plus 1 lime, quartered, for garnish

Preparation
1. Whisk together tequila, sugar, lime juice, orange juice concentrate, and salt in large, shallow bowl. Add mango, persimmons, kiwifruit, and diced pineapple. Chill at least 30 minutes or up to 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
