Prickly Pear Margarita + Healthy Cinco de Mayo Recipes
A beloved celebration is almost here! Cinco de drinkoโฆ I mean Mayo.
At Annieโs wedding a couple of weeks ago, we had the most refreshing prickly pear margaritas. They were the best type of drink: sweet with a salty kick, ice cold, and you couldnโt taste the alcohol. It was like a fruit punch, really.
She injected so many Tucson flavors and old Spanish styles into their wedding, and I knew that this would be a fun taste of home when we got back to San Diego, so I ordered this prickly pear syrup to be waiting for us.
Prickly Pear Margarita Recipe
To make a prickly pear margarita, you need a couple of key ingredients: prickly pear syrup, good tequila (I just said that to be like Ina Garten. Iโm really not that picky about tequila, whereas the Pilotโs taste is a little more discerning. Iโm just like, โSalud!โ and bottoms up, haha), and salt to rim the glass.
The rest is pretty simple to put together! Hereโs the recipe if youโd like to give it a whirl.
