1 1/4 cup vanilla wafer cookie crumbs |
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted |
3 8-ounce packages cream cheese, room temperature |
2 cups sour cream |
1 1/4 cup sugar |
3 tablespoons grand mariner liqueur |
3 tablespoons gold tequila |
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice |
2 teaspoons grated lime zest |
4 large eggs |
very thin lime slices (for garnish) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix cookie crumbs and butter in medium bowl until blended. Press mixture onto bottom and 1-inch up sides of 9-inch diameter spring form pan with 2 3/4-inch high sides. Refrigerate while preparing filling.
2. Using electric mixer, beat cream cheese in large bowl until fluffy. Add 1 cup sour cream, 1 cup sugar, Grand Mariner, tequila, lime juice, and lime peel, and beat until well blended. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating just until blended after each addition.

Pour over cheesecake. Using spatula, smooth top. Bake cheesecake 5 minutes longer. Transfer pan to rack and cool completely. Refrigerate until well chilled, at least 4 hours or overnight.
