Preparation

Step 1

Put the blueberries, kiwi, and mango in a medium serving bowl. Combine the sugar, tequila, and lime zest in a 1-quart saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Remove from the heat and stir in the lime juice. Pour the warm syrup over the fruit and gently toss. Cover and refrigerate until cold, at least 1 hour. Gently toss before serving.
