Prickly Pear Margarita
Refreshingly tart and sweet, this beautiful Prickly Pear Margarita definitely hits the spot! Prickly pear syrup (aka: cactus pear), fresh lime juice, Cointreau, and blanco tequila, are shaken then poured over ice to make the perfect drink. Try this delicious margarita recipe for one or make it for a crowd, and watch this unique cocktail be the talk of the party!
Champagne Paloma Cocktail
Our Champagne Paloma Cocktail is the perfect grapefruit cocktail for spring or summertime! Full of tangy and bright citrus flavor, this tequila based cocktail is made with fresh squeezed juice, and topped off with a bit of Champagne (or Prosecco). The first sip of this light and effervescent cocktail will likely put a smile on your face.
