How to Make Aztec Oranges

  1. Wash and thoroughly dry the oranges. Slice off the top and bottom of each orange to create a stable base.
  2. Using a sharp knife, carefully remove the peel and pith from the oranges, leaving the segments intact. Try to maintain the shape of the oranges as much as possible.
  3. Cut each peeled orange horizontally into ½-inch thick slices.
  4. Place the orange slices in a non-metallic bowl (glass or ceramic).
  5. Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice over the oranges.
  6. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of tequila and 1 tablespoon of orange liqueur over the oranges. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of brown sugar (adjust to your sweetness preference).
  7. Gently toss to combine. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  8. Before serving, gently mix in the 1 cup of mixed berries.
  9. Transfer the fruit salad to a serving dish. Garnish with lime zest.
  10. Enjoy your refreshing Aztec Oranges!
