The classic Margarita takes on a vivid, desert-kissed hue with prickly pear bringing a delicate sweetness to Cointreau's orange character and sharp lime. Visually stunning and unexpectedly nuanced. Made with Cointreau L'Unique, Tequila, Fresh Lime Juice, Prickly Pear Syrup, it is shaken to perfection and served in a lowball with pear slice for the finishing touch. A intermediate-level medium cocktail, it is perfect for dinner and best enjoyed fall. Discover the full range of margaritas recipes and find your perfect Cointreau cocktail.
