Description

Healthy, easy recipes for busy people - with a cosmopolitan twist!

These Prickly Pear and Ginger Beer Cocktails are a refreshingly different take on a summer drink using fresh prickly pear puree, ginger beer and lime.

Im a fun-loving, 20-something girl about town living in the heart of the city, planning my life one meal at a time. Case in point: Im obsessed with coffee, coconut and anything spicy, and consider a weekend well-spent if theres lots of good food and drink to go around. A proud Torontonian at heart, Im a lover of all things lifestyle, am a University of Toronto graduate, and have a Masters degree in Journalism from Ryerson University. My favourite hobbies include listening to CBC radio, and cooking up a storm in my tiny city kitchen!

Directions

Slice and de-skin prickly pear, then place in blender or Magic Bullet and puree until smooth.
Strain prickly pear using a fine mesh sieve or strainer, twice. Result should be a smooth, syrupy liquid.
Pour about 4 tbsp of the prickly pear syrup into a pitcher, then add bottles of ginger beer.
Squeeze limes to get fresh juice and add to pitcher.
To make simple syrup: combine equal parts boiling water and sugar. Add to pitcher.
Mix all ingredients together then pour each cocktail over ice and decorate with garnish of your choice.
