Pear Pitcher Margaritas with Chile-Lime Rims image

Provided by Anca Toderic

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Margarita:
2 ripe Bosc or Bartlett pears
1/3 cup lime juice, from about 3 limes
2/3 cup tequila blanco
2 tablespoons maple syrup
Ice cubes, for the blender and each glass
A small handful fresh cilantro, leaves and tender stems
Cardamom bitters, optional
Rim salt:
2 teaspoons chile powder
2 teaspoons ﬁne salt
1 teaspoon lime zest, from one of the above limes pre-juicing

Steps:

Peel pears and scoop out just the seeds; the slightly harder parts of the ﬂesh will purée well. Chop into large chunks and place in the blender.
Add lime juice, tequila, maple syrup, and 3/4 cup ice. Give everything a long whir until you have a smoothie-like consistency. Add the cilantro and pulse a few more times for green, herby ﬂecks.
Now let the ﬂavors mingle in the blender while you prepare the rims.
On a small plate, mix the chile powder, salt, and lime zest.
Grab 4 glasses-about 6-ish ounces each. Run one of the spent lime wedges along each rim, then dip in the salt mixture, evenly coating the rim.
Fill glasses halfway with ice, add 1-2 dashes of optional bitters, then pour 4 margaritas for 4 lucky people.
