    I am a bit obsessed with unique drinks. Have you checked out my margarita series on Tiktok yet? I show you how to make 10 fun UNIQUE margaritas.

    If you are expecting a larger crowd and want something a bit more simple, make a large Pitcher of Margaritas instead so guests can serve themselves!

    🛒 Ingredients

    • Tequila- Any quality silver CLEAR tequila works!
    • Cointreau- Or triple sec (or any orange flavored liquor).
    • Lime juice- Freshly squeezed is a must!
    • Agave nectar- You can also use any sweetener such as honey or simple syrup.
    • Avocado- All you need is a ¼ of a small avocado per drink.
    • Cilantro- Definitely a must as it's bright and pairs well with avocado.
    • Jalapeno- A slightly spicy addition that will take this margarita to the next level.

    📃 NOTE: You can print the FULL recipe with all ingredients & detailed instructions below!

    🥑 How To Make A Margarita With Avocados

    It's actually very simple to make an avocado margarita!

    The trick is to use one of the following:

    1. A blender
    2. A food processor

    Then add ALL of the ingredients to a blender with some ice and BLEND! That's it!

    The only exception here is if you have a super RIPE avocado that will mash easily using a muddler. With that said, to prevent a chunky margarita, pureeing will be your best bet for that smooth, silky texture.

    🍸 Margarita Rim Suggestions

    There are numerous ways to rim your margarita besides salt!

    • Sugar- If you want a little sweet addition. Look for course rock sugar.
    • Tajin- This is a unique spice blend that is used quite often.
    • Chili Pepper- You can add this by itself or mix it with salt.
    • Smoked Sea Salt- A smokey addition that goes a long way.
    • Lime Zest- I suggest grating lime zest and adding it to salt or sugar.
    • Minced Cilantro- Mince it finely and mix it into your salt or sugar.

    ✅ How To Make Your Marg In Advance

    Making an avocado margarita ahead of time is easier than you think. All you need to do is leave out the ICE. Mix up a big batch and store it in a pitcher in the fridge. Then add to a margarita glass filled with ice and you're set!

    🌿 Margarita Garnishes

    Garnish your margarita with anything you like! I prefer a simple garnish to give guests a preview of what's inside it. This could be a jalapeno, cilantro sprig, and slice of avocado.

    I like adding thin slivers of jalapeno to the top. Cilantro leaves are a beautiful way to add a pop of green color. Avocado isn't as easy to use as a garnish because it is soft.

    I recommend adding an avocado sliver to a toothpick so it does not fall inside the margarita.

    What To Serve With Margaritas?

    OTHER than a large bowl of guacamole, these are my favorite appetizers to serve with a strong marg.

    Fried Red Tomatoes (with Red Pepper Basil Aioli)

    CRISPY Air Fryer Avocado Fries With Lime Cilantro Crema

    Equipment

    • 1 blender or food processor

    Ingredients

    • 3-4 ounces Silver Tequila (4 if you like it stronger)
    • 2 ounces Cointreau (or Triple Sec)
    • 2 ounces Lime juice, freshly squeezed
    • 1½ ounces Agave nectar (or honey/simple syrup)
    • ½ cup Avocado
    • 1 bunch Cilantro
    • ½ Jalapeno

    Instructions

    • Add all ingredients along with about ¼ cup of ice to a blender and puree for 10 seconds.
    • Option 1: Pour directly into a glass filled with ice and garnish with jalapeno slices and cilantro sprig.
      Note* It's not necessary to strain the mixture but you can if you want a smoother result.
    • Option 2: Blend all ingredients without the ice. Then add the blended mixture to a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake well and pour into ice filled glass.
    • *Remember, the idea of adding ice to a cocktail shaker or blender is to slightly dilute the margarita as it may be too strong otherwise.
