Take that familiar frozen margarita to the next level by adding prickly pear fruit. This fruit adds a rich pink color to your 'rita and a touch of sweetness. This particular recipe packs a sour punch, but you can adjust the sugar and fruit to your taste. Ingredients:
1 1/4 pounds green or red prickly pear fruit |
1 cup lime juice |
1 cup tequila |
3/4 cup orange-flavor liqueur |
2 tablespoons sugar |
4 cups crushed ice |
thin lime slices (optional) |
Directions:
1. Cut ends from prickly pears. Cut a 1/8-inch-deep lengthwise slit through peel on each fruit. Pull back peel and remove from pulp; discard peel. Cut fruit pulp into 1/2-inch chunks.
2. In a blender, combine half of all these ingredients: prickly pear chunks, lime juice, tequila, orange liqueur, and sugar; whirl until smooth. Add half the ice and whirl until blended. Pour into glasses slowly, leaving seeds behind. Discard seeds.
3. Repeat step 2 with remaining pear chunks, lime juice, tequila, liqueur, sugar, and ice.
4. Garnish with lime slices.
