In this episode, you’ll learn how to make to make a succulent Prickly Pear Margarita cocktail. Today is Mexican Independence Day (the real Cinco de Mayo), so celebrate it with this juicy tequila cocktail recipe. The best ‘rita is one that’s fresh and uses top quality ingredients like silver tequila (100% agave), orange liqueur (such as Patron Citrónge or Cointreau), freshly squeezed lime and prickly pear cactus juice (no prickly pear syrup), sea salt flakes and a dash of blue agave nectar.
Prickly Pear Cacti (Opuntia Ficus-Indica), are native to the Western Hemisphere and are abundantly found in the Southwest United States as well as central and western Mexico. Prickly pear fruit is often called cactus figs, Indian figs as well as tunas. They come in three colors; white (or greenish), yellow and red. If you’re a fan of watermelon, juicy pears and or honeydew you’ll love the taste of prickly pear fruit. And like their name, the outside of the skin is extremely prickly. So be sure to handle the outer fruit with care!
Not only does fresh prickly pear cactus juice taste delicious its also a beverage with benefits. It’s an excellent source of vitamins and minerals like Vitamin C, Magnesium, Calcium and hydration regulating Potassium.
This is the second video tutorial in the Margarita Madness lineup. Click here to watch the first, a Classic Margarita. The Naughty Tipples that will be served next include a spicy Jalapeño Cucumber ‘rita, a Weeds Margarito / Mojito-rita, a Lazy Girl Margarita and Hot for Hops.

Always enjoyable watching your videos. I liked the view of the city behind you and your use of light. I hope we can do a JV(joint venture) together sometime in the future. You have a lot of untapped potential that I see. Just give me a couple year’s to finish my site.
@gatoradeguy07 Thank you for the kudos. I wanted to try a more “lifestyle” look with the how-to part hence the mixed continuous and natural light. I’m hoping it looks fine on other monitors than my own!

@chrispollock You just got a tipple point.
So I’m 16 and my mother drinks margaritas sometimes and I’ve always wondered why there is salt around the rim. What’s the point?
@SonnoMaku Salt helps to balance the sour tartness of the lime.
I love my new f5 button. It killed the commerical that started playing when I clicked on your video. I love my new f5 button. I love it almost as I love your videos. You are my favorite party girl on Youtube. Sure, there are lots of party girls on you tube but you are sassy, sexy, smart, and satisfying with a touch of silliness when necessary followed by a shot of sultry and a hint of sunny, soft-hearted words to carry me through the week until my favorite days of Saturday and Sunday
@STILLNAKEDBULLWINKLE If you love my videos you can’t love that button. Because if you love that button and everyone else loves that button people like me won’t be able to continue to make awesome videos for you!
@vlogolution I SEE your point. Did make the connection till now. Sorry about that. I just hate commercials of any kind. I am famous for flipping channels or muting commercials on tv or radio. I will refrain from the F5 because I want you to continue to be my international bartender and sassy siren of youtube
I love the music you use. This drink looks yummy, thanks! What does the fruit itself taste like?
@caligirlvideos You’re quite welcome! :o) Prickly pears tastes like watermelon, pears and honeydew combined (well, to me at least). They’re juicy yet delicate. It’s best to juice them because they’re loaded with lots of hard seeds.
FISRT COMMENT!!! HEY VLOG GIRL I JUST WANT TO **** YOU!
@vanilliiceman ****?? Whatever could that mean? :oX
@vlogolution :$ You know what it means bb
