    I harvested 2 gal. of the prickly pear nectar from my backyard canyon and wanted to try this recipe. Yummy! Not a big drinker, but the tequila and prickly pear nectar go well together. Instead of Cointreau, I squeezed a huge orange, a lime, the nectar and tequila. The turbinado sugar and salt combo really hits the spot! Excellent!

    After 20 years in bartending from NY to CA, I have been in search for the perfect prickly pear margarita. Thanks to the smart folks at Voodoo Tiki Tequila, they created a prickly pear infused tequila. This has become my signature cocktail at several bars and restaurants that I have mixed at. Try this one! Ingredients:

    * 2 1/2 oz Voodoo Tiki Desert Rose Tequila
    * 1/2 oz triple sec
    * 2 oz sour mix
    * 1/2 oz orange juice
    * dash of grenadine to color
    * salt or sugar for rimming

    Preparation:

    1. Pour the ingredients into a cocktail shaker with ice.
    2. Shake well.
    3. Strain into a chilled margarita glass
