TEQUILA-LIME-COCONUT MACAROON BARS
From Southern Living magazine, April 2011. I've not tried this recipe, but it sounds really good. NOTE: This recipe has quite a bit of sugar in it, so for my family, I would personally experiment with it using Splenda to cut the sugar for a diabetic dessert. I would also use gluten-free AP flour.

- Serve your cocktails chilled: Tequila cocktails are best served chilled, as this helps to bring out their flavors. You can chill your cocktails by shaking them with ice or by serving them over ice.
