(Naranjas y Fresas con Tequila)
Category: Fruit Desserts
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.
4 large navel oranges
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon silver or gold tequila
1/2 tablespoon orange liqueur, such as Triple Sec or Grand Marnier
16 ripe strawberries
Sprig fresh mint
1. Peel the oranges, and remove the white pith. Cut into bite-size pieces and put into a medium bowl. Add the sugar, tequila, and orange liqueur. Stir to combine. Cover and refrigerate about 4 hours, stirring occasionally, to distribute the juices.
2. About 1 hour before serving, rinse the strawberries and remove the stems and leaves. Cut the berries in half and add to the oranges. Serve cold in individual bowls with the juices. Garnish each serving with a sprig of mint.
