It gets mighty hot out in the Valley of Trials, but thankfully, Galgar has shared his own special take on the Cactus Apple Surprise. An inventive reimagining of the refreshing treat, this wonderfully cooling beverage is the perfect reward after a long day of raiding.
2 ounces tequila
1 ounce triple sec
1 /2 ounce apple brandy
1 to 2 ounces prickly pear syrup
2 ounces lemonade
Mint for garnish
RIM
A pinch of chili powder
2 tablespoons coarse sugar
1. Combine the chili powder and sugar for the rim of the glasses. Run a lime slice around the rims, then gently dip into the sugar mixture. Fill glasses halfway with ice and set aside.
2. Mix together all ingredients for the drink except the lemonade in a shaker, and shake a few times to combine. Pour shaker over ice into two glasses and add the lemonade, topping up to taste.
COOK’S NOTE: If you cannot find prickly pears either whole or in syrup form, substitute raspberry or pomegranate simple syrup—it won’t have the same unique flavor but should approximate the beautiful color.
