1 ½ ounces tequila
1 ½ ounces triple sec or Cointreau
1 ounce fresh lime juice
1 ounce prickly pear syrup

Prep:

If you enjoy a salted glass, prep the rim of your glass by rubbing a lime wedge along the rim. Dip in tequila salt, and set aside.

Make the marg:

Fill a cocktail shaker with ice and add tequila, triple sec or Cointreau, lime juice, and prickly pear syrup. Shake vigorously, more than you think, until the sides are fully frosted.

Serve:

Add fresh ice to the prepared glass and strain the margarita into it. You can also use the ice from the shaker; this is up to you.
Garnish with a wedge of lime.

Notes

Make it a pitcher, serves 8 by combining 1 ½ cups tequila, 1 ½ cups triple sec or Cointreau, 1 cup fresh lime juice, and 1 cup of prickly pear syrup in a pitcher. Add a couple of handfuls of ice and refrigerate. When ready to serve, mix well and pour over a prepared glass.
