Living in Tucson, it was almost a prerequisite that I do a Prickly Pear Old Fashioned for Old Fashioned Week. So I did.
I think I know exactly where the rest of my prickly pear syrup is going.
The

If you like prickly pear you might want to try out my Prickly Pear Martini and my Loaded Cactus Slideritas.
This cocktail paired nicely with my handmade, one-of-a-kind DREAM BIG Paper Necklace.
