You may have heard of the Prickly Pear Margarita. Well, here's an excellent Martini cocktail made from the prickly pear cactus fruit.

This drink mixer is great for adding color and flavor to martini & margarita cocktails, saké, non-alcoholic or hard lemonade and much more.

The reddish-purple prickly pear fruit is high in antioxidants, Vitamin C and is said to reduce many hang-over symptoms.
