PEAR PITCHER MARGARITAS WITH CHILE-LIME RIMS

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.

• Put all of the ingredients in a pitcher. Use the empty limeade can to measure the water (2 1/2 cans) and tequila (1 can).
• Stir to mix. I don't put ice in the pitcher since they will water down.
• Serve with or without a salted rim over ice or frozen.
• Any leftovers can be kept in the fridge.
