    Preparation Steps

    1

    Juice the limes and zest the peel of one. This will provide a fresh and citrusy base for the sauce.

    2

    Finely chop the garlic and fresh cilantro. The intense flavor of cilantro pairs perfectly with the lime and tequila combination.

    3

    Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat, then sauté the garlic until fragrant.

    4

    Add the red pepper flakes and stir to release their flavor into the oil.

    5

    Pour in the lime juice, water, and tequila. Add the honey and salt, then stir well to combine.

    6

    Bring the sauce to a simmer, then reduce the heat and cook for 5-10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to slightly thicken.

    7

    Stir in the chopped cilantro at the end of cooking, then let the sauce cool slightly.

    8

    Serve immediately with grilled meats or vegetables, or store in a sterilized jar in the refrigerator.
