There is very little lemonade in this. Half an ounce is seasoning, not a mixer — the lime does the souring, and the prickly pear mostly handles the color. Muddle basil or mint if you want, one or the other; I've tried both together so you don't have to.

Steve’s notes

Try basil or mint (muddled) in the shaker as well (but not in combination) for something a bit extra/different.
