Oranges and Strawberries with Tequila
Cold, juicy oranges and bright red strawberries, mixed with a bit of tequila, make a memorable dessert or a festive starter for breakfast or brunch. (You may want to inform your guests that the fruit has a little kick.) Prepare the fruit a few hours in advance to allow the flavors to marry. Use seedless navel oranges to make this dish easier to prepare. Pink grapefruit segments are also an alternative for oranges. You would need 2 medium grapefruits.
