We've kicked off our Summer Cocktails series where we profile fun new summer drinks that hotels are making. Got one we should know about? Send us the recipe with a photo of the drink. Otherwise, enjoy and @reply us when you're wasted!

Summer is sadly winding down and this weekend is probably your last weekend to indulge in Summer Cocktails at hotels. But while folks at the Jersey Shore and The Hamptons will be mourning this unofficial end of Summer, we prefer to mark the passing of summer by the Autumnal equinox which means we have about three more weeks left to down some drinks.

At the Hilton Sedona in Arizona, they've been celebrating the desert heat with their Prickly Pear Margarita. The drink can be (probably should be) enjoyed poolside where you can admire the famous Red Rock formations of Sedona. The drink usually costs $10.37 but sometimes the hotel makes it their special Drink of the Day for $6.75 so you can splurge for a few.

Just make sure you don't drink and drive the Red Rock Scenic Byway. Save your margs for after the road trip. Room rates here begin at $189 a night.

Recipe is after the jump.

Prickly Pear Margarita
· 1 ¼ oz top shelf tequila
· ¾ oz premium triple sec
· 1 oz lime juice or sweet/sour mix
· Prickly pear extract to taste
· Slice of lime

Run the rim of a cocktail glass with lime juice, and dip in salt.Shake all ingredients with ice, strain into the glass, place the slice of lime on the rim, and serve. May be served on the rocks or frozen.
