I need to make these!! Sounds so good and refreshing!
These remind me of the addictive prickly pear margs at Rosa Mexicano in NYC- now I can make them myself! Thanks;)
Oh yay! You’re going to love em.
Hi Camille!
Amazon does not ship prickly pear to Canada. Do you know where else I can purchase it?
