1/4 teaspoon salt
Zest of 2 limes
5 large eggs
3 cups granulated sugar
1 ½ cups butter
1 cup Jarritos lime soda
2 teaspoons triple sec

Instructions
Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 12-cup tube pan. Combine flour, salt and zest in a bowl. With a mixer, cream butter and sugar at high speed until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Reduce speed to low; add dry ingredients and soda, beginning and ending with dry ingredients. Add the liquors and mix until just combined. Spoon evenly into prepared pan and bake 1 1/2 hours or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan 15 minutes. Invert onto wire rack, remove pan and cool completely.
