Prickly Pear Sangria Recipe:

Makes a Pitcher

Ingredients

  • 1 Bottle of Dry White Wine Pinot Grigio is best
  • 2 oz Orange Liqueur Triple Sec or Orange Curacao is best
  • 4 Prickly Pears - peeled and cut into four
  • 1 Lemon cut into slices

Instructions

  1. First prep the prickly pears by cutting the ends off, cutting a slit down the side and peeling back revealing the juicy pink fruit inside.
  2. Remove the fruit and cut into fours. Second, slice the lemon into 1/8'' thick wheels.
  3. Pour the bottle of wine into a glass pitcher, add the Triple Sec, and fruit.
  4. Let stand for at least a couple hours. By allowing to marinate for 24 - 48 hours will give the sangria a much richer, sweet flavorful drink.
  5. Before serving strain sangria through a fine mesh strainer to filter out all of the seeds.
  6. Fill wine glass with ice, top with sangria and garnish with lemon wheel.
