Opuntia
Prickly pear is widely available in the southern part of Turkey, where I grew up. That’s why I feel nostalgic about it. It is hard to find in Istanbul and I haven’t seen a cocktail with it till now. So, I made one. I prepared a puree after grilling them which I never tried before and it turned out really good. And prickly pears match really good with tequila and here is a sip that I really enjoyed. Do you know or tried a cocktail with prickly pears?
