This is probably one of the prettiest pies that I’ve ever made and I’m 100% in love with it. From the pink pie itself to the pretty toppings, it’s just beautiful. Plus, it’s taste great too.
Now, this is a Strawberry Margarita Pie but I chose not to put any alcohol in it. However, I did add in all of the classic Strawberry Margarita flavors, like the strawberry, lime and orange to mimic the Triple Sec that you would find in a real margarita.
If you want to add a little bit of tequila to this pie, you certainly can. You can add about 1 or 2 tablespoons of tequila to this pie but I think it is great without it.
