Tips:

Use a good quality tequila. A reposado or añejo tequila will give the sauce a more complex flavor than a blanco tequila.
Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of cream. Heavy cream will give you a richer sauce, while half-and-half will give you a lighter sauce.
Add some chopped fresh cilantro or parsley to the sauce just before serving for a pop of color and flavor.
Serve the sauce over your favorite pasta, such as spaghetti, penne, or fettuccine.
Garnish the dish with grated Parmesan cheese and a wedge of lime.
