For a sweeter margarita, add a splash of agave nectar or simple syrup to taste. If you can't find prickly pear syrup, you can substitute with prickly pear puree, but adjust the sweetness accordingly. For a non-alcoholic version, replace the tequila with sparkling water or club soda. Use high-quality tequila for the best flavor. Blanco or silver tequila is recommended. Make your own sweet and sour mix by combining equal parts sugar and water, heating until the sugar dissolves, and then mixing with equal parts lemon and lime juice.
