Today my sweet husband brought home a Mango Key Lime Pie. Run to Publix grocery store or whoever may have them near you, immediately for your own. Or make one if you must. You will thank me. I love Key Lime pie, I'm human, and I love mango. This was the first time I enjoyed this perfect combination of the two. Mango Key Lime pie-- run, don't walk.
Earlier I had been enjoying making pesto with my going crazy basil plant, but forgot all about that when this Mango Key Lime Pie became part of the afternoon.
Then I remembered my sisters and mom recently had Key Lime Margaritas, so I looked up a recipe for those to share. Why not make a mango version if you are a creative mixologist?
Key Lime Margaritas: Epicurious says 4 drinks, a reviewer says "let's be serious, it's 2."

Key Lime Margaritas: Epicurious says 4 drinks, a reviewer says "let's be serious, it's 2."
- 1 Key lime (optional), quartered
- Kosher salt (optional) for rims of glasses
- 3/4 cup Cointreau or other orange-flavored liqueur
- 1/2 cup reposado tequila
- 1/2 cup fresh Key lime juice
- 2 teaspoons superfine granulated sugar (optional)
- graham crackers, crushed (optional but I think not)
Run a lime wedge (if using) around rim of each of 4 (6-to 8-ounces) glasses. Put salt (if using) on a small plate and dip glasses in salt to lightly coat rims. Otherwise, coat the rims in graham cracker crumbs.
Blend liqueur, tequila, juice, and sugar (if using) in a blender until combined.
Serve over ice (in coated glasses).
