A baked 9" single crust pie shell or a graham cracker crust 1 14-oz. can sweetened condensed milk 1/2 cup freshly-squeezed lime juice 1 tablespoon gold tequila 1/4 teaspoon salt 3 tablespoons sugar 3 eggs, separated |

Preheat the oven to 350º. Mix the milk, lime juice, tequila, salt, 1 tablespoon of the sugar and the egg yolks until very well combined. The reaction of the milk with the lime juice will make for a thick filling.
