The avocado margarita at Curra's Grill in Austin.

Avocado Margarita

This drink from Curra’s Grill is creamy, rich, mystifying, and ridiculously popular.
Servings 4

Equipment

  • 1 blender

Ingredients  

  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 4 lime wedges
  • ½ avocado, pitted and peeled
  • ½ cup tequila reposado
  • 6 tablespoons triple sec
  • 6 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon cilantro, chopped
  • cups crushed ice

Directions 

  • To prepare the glasses, spread the salt on a plate.
  • Rub a lime wedge around the rim of each glass and dip into the mixture.
  • To make the margarita, add the avocado, tequila, triple sec, juice, cilantro, and ice to a blender and puree until smooth.
  • Pour into the prepared glasses.

Notes

Use a quality blender that can really puree the ice; otherwise, it won’t be creamy.
