Prickly pear season, which kicked off this month infuses fall with vibrant fuchsia hues and refreshing flavor. Served in a chili-lime rimmed glass, sweetened with honey and scented with mint, this soda will be a new favorite.
Ingredients
SERVINGS: 2-4 Cocktail
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3/4 cup warm water
- 3 deep red/purple prickly pears, washed, peeled, halved
- Tajín
- sparkling water
- limes
- fresh mint
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl combine honey and water. Stir until dissolved and then pour into a blender. Add the prickly pear and blend until combined (seeds will remain whole).
Using a fine sieve, strain the puree into an airtight container. This will remove any seeds.
To prepare the glasses, pour a few tablespoons of tajín into a shallow dish. Rub a wedge of lime along the rim of the glasses and then dip into the tajín to coat the edge.
Fill glasses with ice, 3/4 cup sparkling water, 3 tablespoons of prickly pear puree, and a squeeze of lime. Add a sprig of fresh mint (3-5 leaves) and garnish with a slice of lime on the rim.
Refrigerate any remaining prickly pear syrup and use within 3-5 days.
