Another great drink in which we get to muddle a tuna! Seriously, how crazy are we! This drink actually calls for muddling a prickly pear tuna. A prickly pear cactus fruit is called a tuna. We prefer to muddle a red tuna because the color makes for one of the most naturally beautiful drinks you’ll ever see. Cut a slice of the green tuna for garnish and the contrast of colors will have everyone wanting to try this drink at your next party.
