Blue Cactus Margaritas image

It's not technically a margarita. I made this drink up all on my lonesome. It's great at BBQs or with spicy Mexican food. I've been making cactus pear margaritas for a long time, but I added a little blue.

Time 20m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 liter margarita mix
2 small prickly pears (otherwise called cactus pears)
16 ounces gold tequila
5 ounces blue curacao
4 fresh limes
kosher salt or margarita salt

Steps:

  • To make Prickley Pear Margarita Mix:.
  • 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.
  • Strain mixture through a fine sieve or rice strainer. Press the pulp down to get any remaining liquid out.
  • 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.
  • For each drink:.
  • Fill shaker half full of ice.
  • Add 2 oz tequila, 3/4 oz blue curacao and the juice of half a lime.
  • 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.
  • Garnish with lime.
  • Should make about 8 drinks.
