1
Peel pears and scoop out just the seeds; the slightly harder parts of the flesh will puree well. Chop into large chunks and place in the blender.
2
Add lime juice, tequila, maple syrup, and 3/4 cup ice. Give everything a long whir until you have a smoothie-like consistency. Add the cilantro and pulse a few more times for green, herby flecks.
3
Now let the flavors mingle in the blender while you prepare the rims.
4
On a small plate, mix the chile powder, salt, and lime zest.
5
Grab 4 glasses-about 6-ish ounces each. Run one of the spent lime wedges along each rim, then dip in the salt mixture, evenly coating the rim.
6
Fill glasses halfway with ice, add 1-2 dashes of optional bitters, then pour 4 margaritas for 4 lucky people.
