Step 1
For the prickly pear syrup, scoop the flesh out of the
Prickly Pears (2)
and roughly chop it. Combine it with the
Water (360 mL)
and
Granulated Sugar (100 g)
in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes. Strain out solids.
Step 2
To salt the glasses, prepare one plate with a bit of water, and another plate with a handful of
Salt (to taste)
. Dip the glass in water plate, then dip the glass on the salt plate.
Step 3
Slice 1/4 inch off of each end of the
Lime (1)
and cut it in half, lengthwise. Set one of the halves cut side-down​​ on the cutting board, slice it at an angle, lengthwise to make lime wedges and set aside.

For each drink, combine 1 oz of the prickly pear syrup, plus the juice from
Limes (1 1/2)
