Prickly Pear Margaritas

*Use very ripe uncooked fruit, cleaned and peeled. You can just slice off the stickers, if the store didn't do it for you. You peel a prickly pear fruit by very carefully slicing down one side of the fruit, then, using the knife, pulling back the peel until you come all the way around the fruit. Look at those colours!!!
Then puree it with either a food processor or blender, and chill. Wow.
1 ounce premium tequila 1/2 ounce Grand Marnier (we use Triple Sec), 2 1/2 ounces peeled and pureed prickly pears, chilled 2 1/2 ounces prepared sweet-and-sour mix(we use lime cordial but I am sure Magarite mix will work just fine), lime wedges, coarse salt, 1 cup ice cubes


Prepare margarita glass rim by dipping into lime juice, and then coarse salt. Put ice into a shaker. Add tequila, Grand Marnier, fruit and sweet and sour. Shake vigorously and pour into prepared margarita glass. Garnish with a wedge of lime.

Cheers.
