Tips and Tricks:
- For an extra burst of citrus flavor, add a splash of fresh lime juice to the Cool Whip topping.
- To make individual servings, pour the filling into small tart shells instead of a large pie crust.
- Garnish each slice with a twist of lime or a sprinkle of additional lime zest for a decorative touch.
- For a non-alcoholic version, simply omit the triple sec and tequila from the recipe.
