Spicy prickly pear and strawberry margarita recipe made with infused tequila, fresh lemon, and a black salt rim. Prickly pears are native to the Sonoran-Mexican borderlands region of Southern Arizona. Prickly Pear juice and syrup can be ordered online. The margaritas are made using this easy recipe for Strawberry and Habanero Infused Tequila.
The black salt rim looks spectacular against the magenta of the prickly pear. Hawaiian black sea salt has a slightly mineral, almost smoky flavor that balances the sweetness and amplifies the heat from the habanero.
