Avocado Margarita Recipe
Servings: 2 cocktails
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 5 minutes
Ingredients:
1 ripe avocado (about ½ large or 1 small)
3 oz (90 ml) blanco tequila
1 oz (30 ml) triple sec or Cointreau
1.5 oz (45 ml) fresh lime juice (about 1½ limes)
½ oz (15 ml) agave syrup (or to taste)
Ice (about 1½ cups for blending)
Optional: ½ oz orange juice or pineapple juice (adds brightness)
Garnish:
Lime wedge
Coarse salt or Tajín (for rimming the glass)
Instructions:
Prepare the glasses:
Run a lime wedge around the rim of each glass.
Dip rims into salt or Tajín to coat. Set aside.
Blend the drink:
In a blender, combine:
Flesh of the avocado
Tequila
Triple sec
Lime juice
Agave syrup
Ice
Blend until smooth and creamy (about 30 seconds).
Taste and adjust:
Add more lime for tang, or agave if you want it sweeter.
If it’s too thick, splash in a bit of water or juice.
Serve:
Pour into prepared glasses.
Garnish with a lime wedge or a thin avocado slice.
Tips:
Use a ripe avocado (soft but not mushy) for best texture.
Want it spicy? Add a slice of jalapeño to the blender.
Make it a frozen version by using frozen avocado chunks and more ice.
