Homebound (Boundless Players, #2)

DAKOTA’S PRICKLY PEAR MARGARITA Ingredients: 1 shot of tequila. I use LALO! 1 shot of fresh squeezed orange juice, or if you really want to be on the floor, add one shot of Cointreau (not Triple Sec) 1 shot of lime juice (I always do a little more because I like the extra tang) 1/2 shot of prickly pear syrup (Making it homemade is a NIGHTMARE! Buy an all-natural organic bottle online. The less preservatives, the better. If you like it sweeter, do a full shot) Add in a few slices of Trader Joe’s Hot & Sweet Jalapeños Tajín seasoning for the rim (I like to sprinkle some into the shaker to give it a little spicy kick) Top with Fever Tree light tonic water or club soda for less sweetness Directions: Step 1: Pour Tajín onto a small plate. Wet the rim of a margarita glass and dip rim into Tajín. Step 2: Fill a cocktail shaker with ice; pour tequila, Cointreau, lime juice, jalapeños, and prickly pear syrup over ice. Cover shaker and shake the drink. Strain into the prepared margarita glass and top with tonic water. Step 3: Find yourself a body of water and scarf that bad boy down!
