how do you compare the prickly pear syrup with the prickly pear puree for making the prickly pear margarita?

The Syrup is lighter and not as heavy the Puree. In addition, it will last a lot longer when Refrigerated

I haven't used the pure but the syrup combines completely with another liquid. I have mixed it in with lemonade and it is delicious. Once it is mixed, it doesn't separate at all. I imagine a pure might separate. Then I can use the lemonade llain or as a mixer with rum or vodka. Yum!

We liked the puree better, better flavor, color, etc. We figure we can add our own sugar!

Sorry, I was pout of the country. I have not yet tried it but the express reason I bought it was to make prickly pear margaritas!

I know this works great for margaritas, but I've never been lucky enough to get my hands on enough prickly pear purée before. I'd assume you'd just use less syrup and go with more fresh lime.

The syrup mixes easier, especially if you put a little margarita in the glass first, and then add a tablespoon of syrup. This keeps the syrup from sticking to the glass, and it mixes quickly.

I returned mine quickly. It is a glorified blender. The sugar allows it to stay "slushy" longer...

ABSOLUTELY! I mix both all the time, I use Captain Morgans Spiced Rum or Foresters Bourbon to mix with my vodka. 75% Vodka; 25% Rum -or- Bourbon. Smells and bakes .... well.... AWESOME :-)

The DM0600 is made by Jarden Consumer Solutions--New Sources of Growth according to the product details. It also comes with a "no-brainer" mixing tool aka a piece of plastic with measuring incriments on it that attaches to the top of the blender jar which the DM0500 does not have. I own the DM0500 and at the time I purchased it the DM0600 wasn't available for a cheaper price. It's a difference of about $25 and if I had to order again I would purchase the legitimately advertised margaritaville brand DM0500 however, all the reviews are in the 5 and 4 star range so it is possible the the DM0600 is a quality unit. Good luck with your purchase

I agree with the other reviewers on this question- If you're interested in Taste try: PB2; however, I buy Hoosier's brand because they have the better nutritional makeup. PB2 has added salt and sugar, Hoosier's does not. i usually put the powder in my smoothies so the fruit have the sweetness in there!!

I have a BPHT02 and it has a 40oz jar. In the slow speed you have to hold the pulse switch down to continue blending. Not a big deal! Checked them both out - can't find any difference!

I use 1 heaping Tablespoon and mix in hot coco or I use slimfast. I have been using this for years and found out it taste better when mixed in something besides water.

For convenience, I actually make one or two full batches at one time and then pour into 1 quart freezer bags (make sure you seal tightly). Depending on your freezer setting and how much alcohol you use in the mix, the texture of the shaved ice generally prevents it from freezing solid. When you are ready for your margarita, scoop out the desired amount in a glass. Even if it is a bit too hard, it will thaw quickly. I also use this method as a prepare-ahead for parties. Enjoy!

I've not used it to make margaritas. What I have done a few times was use ice made with lime flavored water (instead my usual tap water) put the crushed ice into a glass then added a little lime juice and a lot more water to the glass. My favorite way to use the Hamilton Beach 68050 is to make a slushee using regular ice on the snow cone setting (its faster than the other setting) and then put the ice into a tall glass pour a little Goya Foods Peach Nectar and a lot of water over the ice, add a straw and enjoy. :)

Just like the other responses, these are syrups ready-for-use. The only mixing required is if you would like to combine flavors; say strawberry and banana, or cherry and pina colada. Let your imagination explore the possibilities.

I use Cafe Bustelo Cuban Espresso with organic whole milk and this syrup. I drink mine iced and it's way better than anything Starbucks offer, plus a lot cheaper.

I only use a simple syrup for my sweetener which is equal parts of water and sugar that have been heated/warmed to dissolve the sugar.,so what I do is put 2-tablespoons of white sugar mixed with 2-tablespoons of hot water,stir until dissolved and cooled then I put the simple syrup in a 1-cup measuring cup and fill the rest of the way with the heavy cream..Hope this helps!

With any of the brands of authentic Yacon syrup that I have tried, I find it is necessary to shake it vigorously before every use. I also flip it upside down after every other use to keep the solids thoroughly mixed. If you don't do that from day one, what you describe happens. When that has happened to me, I put a little hot water into the bottle and shake it until it is the consistency that allows it to pour. Most brands do not say "refrigerate after opening" though I think this brand may say that. I do not refrigerate mine because it does make it much harder to shake and remove from the bottle.

A little syrup goes a long way. Unless you want other flavors or are serving hundreds of people right off the bat, I would say no. These syrups are good, and I love the pour spouts they come with. That being said, you can also do an internet search for DIY syrup. I used an easy recipe that is basically Kool-Aid, sugar, and water. It worked just as well. I put it in a food grade squirt bottle for serving. The squirt bottle doesn't work quite as well as the pour spout, but only by the smallest margin. Hope that helps.

The juice is pastuerize, and the herbal is of course is a solid that desolves in your digestive system, but they both are from the cactus of the desert. So you can probably do a little more indebt research on wilkapedia or goggle. So in a since it is, just less expensive.

Check website exact ingriedients. It has a mild sweetness but it isn't sweet like tonic water. They use can sugar or agave If I remember correctly when they batch make this.
