  3. 3 Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 45 to 50 minutes. Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack while you make the glaze.

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  2. 2 Combine pretzels and sugar in a bowl; stir in melted margarine. Mix until evenly incorporated and moistened; press into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie plate.
  3. 3 Bake in the preheated oven until edges are lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
  4. 4 Combine sweetened condensed milk, limeade concentrate, tequila, orange liqueur, and green food coloring in a large bowl until well blended.
  5. 5 Beat cream in a separate glass or metal bowl with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Lift the beater or whisk straight up: whipped cream should form soft mounds rather than a sharp peak. Fold whipped cream into condensed milk mixture. Spoon filling into cooled crust.
  6. 6 Cover pie with plastic wrap; freeze until firm, about 4 hours. Let stand at room temperature before serving for 10 minutes; garnish with lime slices.

Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9-cup fluted tube pan with cooking spray that contains flour, and brush the spray into the grooves of the pan with a pastry brush. Spray 1 more light coating of cooking spray, and invert the pan to let any excess spray drip out.
  2. 2 In a mixing bowl, beat together the orange cake mix, lemon pudding mix, eggs, vegetable oil, margarita mix, lime juice, tequila, and triple sec until thoroughly combined. Fold in the grated zest of 1 lime, and pour the batter into the prepared fluted tube pan. Use a spatula to fill grooves of the pan with batter, and tap the filled cake pan to remove air pockets.
  3. 3 Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 45 minutes.
  4. 4 Cool the cake in the pan on a rack for 10 minutes, shake it a couple of times to help the sides release, and slide a thin silicone or nylon spatula between the cake and the pan. Place a serving plate over the top of the cake pan and invert the pan to slide the cake onto the serving plate. Allow the cake to finish cooling.
  5. 5 Make a thin glaze by mixing together confectioners' sugar, 1 tablespoon of tequila, 2 tablespoons of triple sec, juice of 2 limes, and grated zest of 1 lime. Drizzle the glaze decoratively over the cake, let the glaze set for a few minutes to harden, and slice.

Instructions

  1. 1 Wash the lemons and limes, and cut the fruit into quarters. Squeeze juice from the fruit quarters into a 1-gallon glass ice tea jar, and place the squeezed fruit quarters into the jar. Fill the jar with ice cubes, and pour in the sugar and tequila. Top off the jar with more ice cubes if some have melted from the tequila. Seal the jar, and wrap the jar with a wet (but not sopping wet) hand towel.
  2. 2 Gather 8 or so people in a circle, and pass the jar from one to the next, each person shaking the jar for 3 to 5 minutes. The drink is ready when the sugar has dissolved and the hand towel freezes and sticks to the jar. Dispense into ice-filled glasses and serve.
