PRICKLY PEAR LEMONADE DRINK
Have you ever had prickly pears? They're the fruit of cacti and extremely popular in the American Southwest. They're sweet and tart at the same time, making them perfect in margaritas and lemonades! The soft fruit is easy to get out of the skin and then just puree it to get the juice!
