Copycat Recipe: Avocado Margarita

Remember when I told you about the Avocado Margarita I couldn’t get enough of at La Cava del Tequila in the Mexico Pavilion at Disney’s Epcot? Well, I’ve been meaning to recreate it for awhile now but never got my act together and bought all the ingredients. My parents, visiting from Maine this weekend, generously made a stop at the New Hampshire State Liquor store for me and so it became my mission to recreate the drink this weekend.

Avocado Margarita

(serves 1)

Ingredients:

  • 1 oz Midori Melon Liquer
  • 2 oz Silver Tequila (I used Sauza)
  • 2 oz fresh lime juice (from 2 limes)
  • 1/2 ripe avocado
  • 8-10 ice cubes
  • 1 oz light agave syrup
  • coarse salt for the rim of your glass (optional)

Put all ingredients in a blender (I used my food processor because I don’t have a blender and I do NOT recommend it). Blend until smooth. Wet rim of glass and roll in coarse salt. Pour your margarita into your glass and enjoy!

  2. Oh I'm so in love with this. There's little I love more than eating avocado in crazy new exciting ways. And this fits all bills.
