Margo's Mezcal Avocado Margarita

A creamy, immensely textural, and culinary-inspired take on the classic margarita. It uses muddled fresh avocado to give the drink a velvety weight, shaking it with smoky mezcal, fresh lime juice, and a touch of agave nectar.

Ingredients:

  • 2 oz. mezcal

  • 1 oz. fresh lime juice

  • ¾ oz. agave syrup

  • ¼ ripe avocado

  • Chili salt for rim

Instructions:

  • Rim a glass with chili salt and add ice and set aside. In a shaker, add the avocado and ice. Shake hard to break down the avocado. Add the mezcal, lime, agave and shake until cold. Strain into a prepared rocks glass. Garnish.

  • Margo’s Chile Salt: Add 2 parts of kosher salt to 1 part Aleppo pepper and a dash of cayenne.
