{"product_id":"salty-xoconostle-stripes","title":"Xoxoc Salty Xoconostle Strips","description":"\u003ch5\u003eSalted, naturally sour dried prickly pear strips. For snacking or to replace salt and lime at cocktail time. \u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTequila's best friend! Mezcal is pretty darn happy, too! Most of us know that prickly pear cactus yield sweet, delicious fruits that taste oddly tropical, despite their preference for a desert climate. A close cousin to the common prickly pear is the \u003ci\u003exoconostle\u003c\/i\u003e. Its fruit looks similar to a prickly pear but the taste is \u003cem\u003emuy\u003c\/em\u003e sour and \u003cem\u003emuy\u003c\/em\u003e appealing. You find them in salsas and dishes throughout central Mexico.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eXoxoc, the producer, takes their \u003cem\u003exoconostle\u003c\/em\u003e and dries them naturally and in this case, salts them. The result is an addictive chewy snack for hot weather, but where they really shine is as a chaser to premium tequilas and mezcal. The salt and sour sensation replaces the traditional salt and lime! Take a sip, take a bite and then you'll understand why we declare these little flavor bombs essential to tequila time. And they're a lot handier than messy limes and salt cellars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\" size=\"2\" style=\"font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003eIf you have a tequila fanatic in your life, congratulations.
