Preheat oven to 200° F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper, and place the limes on the top 1-inch apart. Bake the limes for one hour. Flip, and bake for another 30-60 minutes, until the limes are dry and crackly. Let cool completely, and store in an airtight container until ready to use.

Prickly Pear Vodka Sour

In a cocktail shaker, combine the vodka, lemon juice, lime juice, and prickly pear syrup. Fill the cocktail shaker with ice, and shake until the outside is frosty, about 30 seconds. Strain into a cocktail glass and garnish with dehydrated limes or herbs. Serve immediately.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Prickly Pear Perfection 🌵
Choose deep magenta-colored prickly pears for the most intense and vibrant flavor in your cocktail, ensuring maximum color and taste impact.
Vodka Chill Technique 🧊
Freeze your vodka beforehand to create an ultra-smooth, silky texture that elevates the entire cocktail experience without diluting the flavors.
Foam Master Trick 🍸
Dry shake the cocktail ingredients (without ice) for 15 seconds first to create a luxurious, creamy foam that adds sophisticated texture to your sour.
Rim Design Strategy 🥃
Create a stunning glass rim by mixing crushed Frosted Corn Flakes with a touch of sea salt for a sweet-savory cocktail presentation that matches the unique ingredient profile.
Acid Balance Hack 🍋
Use fresh lime juice and adjust the simple syrup ratio to perfectly balance the tartness of the prickly pear, creating a harmonious and complex flavor profile.
