Pear Pitcher Margaritas with Chile-Lime Rims

Fuel an entire fall fiesta with the push of a blender button. There are no bottled pear concentrates or simple syrups to simmer, and the result is a refreshing burst of spicy, crisp autumn flavors. It’s something you’d imagine sipping at the bar of a trendy modern taqueria, except you pulled it off at home, without any of the individual cocktail shaking. For a larger crowd, make extra pitchers a few hours before to have in the fridge and just keep ’em coming.
