Prickly pear margarita · Phoenix
A desert-pink margarita built on the magenta syrup of the prickly-pear cactus fruit, tart and faintly floral, the Valley's signature patio drink.
Prickly pear, the fruit of the nopal cactus, ripens magenta across the Sonoran Desert in late summer and has flavoured Southwest drinks for generations. Phoenix bars turn its syrup into a vivid pink margarita that has become the regional patio cocktail, served everywhere from cantina patios to resort bars during the cooler months.
