Blue Cactus Margaritas

Blue Cactus Margaritas


1. To make Prickley Pear Margarita Mix:

2. In a blender add your bottle (1 liter) of Margarita mix. I usually just cut the cactus pears in half and scoop out the pink flesh. Add the fruit's flesh to the blender and blend until smooth.

3. Strain mixture through a fine sieve or rice strainer. Press the pulp down to get any remaining liquid out.

4. I usually pour strained mix back into margarita mix bottle and use the little left in the bottom of the container to make my first drink.

5. For each drink:

6. Fill shaker half full of ice.

7. Add 2 oz tequila, 3/4 oz blue curacao and the juice of half a lime.

8. Shake well and strain into a 12 ounce glass that's been dipped in margarita salt and packed with ice. Pour Prickly Pear Margarita mix to the top and serve.

9. Garnish with lime.

10. Should make about 8 drinks.
