Agua Desierto
Cocktails should be fun, easy and, most importantly, delicious. In that spirit, Williams Sonoma is partnering with Cocktail Courier to deliver kits right to your doorstep that include everything you need to whip up craft cocktails from the world's best professional bartenders. The recipe for the Agua Desierto was created by Laila Grainawi, one of the creative bartenders at Cocktail Courier. Her drink highlights the sweet-tart flavor and brilliant color of prickly pears, fruit of the Opuntia cactus native to the southwestern U.S. and Mexico. The vibrant magenta hue of its juice creates an innovative cocktail that's perfect to enjoy year-round.
