I am perfecting my Cinco de Mayo recipes for early May. As avocado fans, our team enjoys the recipes we try from the Haas Avocado Board. I have written several margarita recipes for our blogs. My version of this one has a new twist since it contains avocado. It is the ideal pairing with guacamole, chips and salsa, tortilla soup, and California style fish tacos.
Ingredients for one serving:
Margarita salt for rim as needed
1/2 sour mix
1/2 simple syrup
1/4 fresh lime
1/8 of fresh, large, ripe avocado
1 1/2 oz tequila
1/2 oz orange liquor
1/2 oz or a few splashes of orange juice to taste
ice cubes
Method:
Rim margarita glass with salt.
Place avocado and lime wedge in a pint glass and muddle well.
Add sour mix.
Add tequila, orange liquor and orange juice.
Add ice and shake vigorously until frothy.
Pour into salt rimmed glass.
Tips:
Use all fresh ingredients and the best tequila, when possible. You will taste the difference.
Optional garnishes are lime wedge, orange wheel or an avocado slice.
