Ritual

Sip slowly — the color draws you in, the salt keeps you there.

Adapted from the existing Don Catrín recipe.

Story

Prickly pear tastes like desert fruit and late sunsets. Mezcal gives it a smoky echo, and worm salt adds a grounded edge.

This margarita is vibrant, but never sweet in a simple way — it’s layered and a little mysterious.

A drink for celebration, or for making a regular night feel special.

Notes & Variations

  • Add a splash of grapefruit for more brightness.
