Categories     Other Sauces

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 c heavy cream
1 c half and half
2 Tbsp lime juice
1 Tbsp scallions
3 Tbsp tequila
1/2 Tbsp chicken base
1/2 c water
1/4 tsp white pepper
1/2 Tbsp roux

  • 3. Simmer for 10 minutes or until thickened.
  • 4. Wisk in tequila, lime juice, white pepper and scallions.
  • 5. Cool and cover.

Tips:

  • Use fresh limes for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh limes, you can use bottled lime juice, but the flavor will be less bright.
  • If you don't have tequila, you can use another type of clear liquor, such as vodka or gin. However, tequila adds a unique flavor to the sauce that is worth trying if you have it.
  • You can adjust the amount of honey in the sauce to taste. If you like a sweeter sauce, add more honey. If you prefer a more tart sauce, add less honey.
  • The sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. When you're ready to use it, simply bring it to room temperature before serving.

Conclusion:

Tequila lime sauce is a versatile sauce that can be used on a variety of dishes, from chicken and fish to tacos and grilled vegetables. It's also a great dipping sauce for chips and pretzels. The sauce is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a new sauce to try, give tequila lime sauce a try. You won't be disappointed.
