Margarita fruit salad

1 Servings

Ingredients

QuantityIngredient
1Cantaloupe and honeydew melon, cut in chunks or balls
2Oranges and grapefruit, peeled & sectioned
1Mango, peeled and diced
2cupsStrawberries, halved
½cupSugar
cupOrange juice
3tablespoonsTequila
3tablespoonsOrange liqueur
3tablespoonsLime juice
1cupCoarsely grated fresh coconut (or dried, unsweetened flaked) toasted

Directions

Combine fruit, set aside. In small saucepan, cook sugar and orange juice over medium-high heat, stirring, for 3 minutes or until sugar dissolves.

Stir in tequila, liqueur, and lime juice. Let cool to room temperature.

Combine with fruit. Cover and refrigerate for at least two hours or overnight. Just before serving sprinkle with coconut.

I guess if you wanted to make it more Jamaican to go with the jerk and pumpkin soup you could use rum instead of tequila.
