Pear Margaritas with a Tajin Rim

Yield: 2 margaritas

This pear margarita is a fresh, unexpected twist on a classic cocktail. Juicy pear brings a smooth, natural sweetness that pairs perfectly with bright citrus and a subtle hint of spice. Perfect for warm evenings, casual gatherings, or whenever you want something a little different from your usual margarita.

Ingredients

  • 1 ripe pear, Anjou
  • 4 ounces of tequila
  • 2 ounces of lime juice
  • ½ ounce Grand Marnier
  • Pinch of jalapeño pepper, optional
  • Pinch of salt
  • Tajin

Directions

  1. Mix pear, lime juice, Grand Marnier, pepper (if desired), and salt in a blender.
  2. Pour 2 oz of tequila into each glass filled with ice.
  3. Finish filling each glass with the pear mixture and stir.
  4. Garnish with a fresh lime wedge and Tajin rim. 

(This margarita is also delicious blended rather than served over ice.)
