Ingredients
- 2 cups lime pie filling or key lime pie filling, if you’re feeling fancy
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
- 1/2 cup tequila silver works best, but any will do
- Zest of 2 limes

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish—let’s keep things easy, not sticky.
- Spread the lime pie filling evenly in the dish. Squeeze a little extra lime juice over the top if you’re a citrus lover.
- Pour the tequila over the filling. It’s five o’clock somewhere, right?
- Sprinkle the lime zest and sugar over the top to add some zing.
- Spread the cake mix evenly over the lime layer.
