Described as having "surprisingly tart and exciting lime flavor" with a flaky pastry crust on top. The result is ideal for spring time as well, especially if it doesn't feel hot enough to go all out with the cocktail.
To bake these margarita bars at home, you will need tasty ingredients including shredded coconut, grated lemon zest, grated lime zest, lime juice and powdered sugar for dusting on top.
