Blue Cactus Margaritas

   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.
