1 1/2 cups sugar
3 cups water
1/2 teaspoon lime zest
1/2 cup lime juice
1/3 cup white tequila
1 egg white
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt

Preparation

Combine sugar and water in a saucepan.
Bring to a boil and cook for approximately five minutes.
Stir in lime peel and lime juice.
Remove from heat and pour into a frezzer tray.
Freeze until mixture is thick and not completely frozen.
Remove mixture and place in a blender.
Add Tequila, egg whites and salt.
Blend thoroughly.
Put mixture back into freezer tray and freeze until firm.
Serve in individual dessert dishes with a twist of lime peel for garnish.
I like to serve them an a Margarita Glass dipped in green coarse salt that I added a drop of food coloring to and garnished with a fresh sprig of mint.
