Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

- 1/4 cup tequila
- 2 tablespoons triple sec
- Zest of 1 lime
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar

Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until well mixed.
- Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust.

- In a separate bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, lime juice, tequila, triple sec, and lime zest.
- Pour the filling into the cooled crust and spread it evenly.
- Bake the pie for 20 minutes, or until the filling is set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center.
- Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool to room temperature.
- Once cooled, refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow it to set completely.
- In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
- Spread the whipped cream over the chilled pie.
- Garnish with fresh lime slices and dollops of whipped cream.
