Avocados are healthy and they are abundant in Mexico.
I enjoy at least half an avocado per day. I was delighted when my niece, Courtney, was visiting and she suggested we make Avocado Margaritas. I squinched up my nose not thinking that was an ideal combination. She said “They’re really good”! So, I made them for all of our guests and they raved about both the alcoholic and non-alcoholic versions. Creamy, smooth and yummy!
Avocado Margarita (inspired by and recipe from Fernando’s Pub in Kelowna)
- 1 oz lime juice
- 1 oz simple syrup ( 2 parts sugar, 1 part water – boil)
- ¼ avocado
- Pinch of cilantro
- 1 oz tequila
- ½ oz triple sec
- Mix all ingredients together and blend.
* For non-alcoholic, omit alcohol and blend,
We made enough for 10 people, which equaled 2 blenders full. I also used cane sugar, which is readily available here in Mexico. What I did for 1 blender full for 4 people;
- 4 oz lime juice
- 4 oz simple syrup (2 parts sugar, 1 part water – boil)
- 1 avocado
- Pinch of cilantro
- 4 oz tequila
- 2 oz Cointreau
I added ice to fill the blender and blended until smooth.
Serve it in an iced glass with a salted rim and enjoy!
THANKS Courtney and Fernando’s pub!
