Say goodbye to dry January with a healthy avocado Margarita recipe

Jen Stebbing29 January 2016

Whether you’ve managed to stick to Dry January or not, everyone seems to be pretty pleased it’s over!

To celebrate, Benito’s Hat has created a special Avocado Margarita to end dry January with a healthy kick: adding well-known superfood avocados to a drop of tequila for an (almost) guilt-free cocktail!

Ben Fordham, Co-Founder, shows how to make one at home in the how-to video above.

Ingredients

30ml Tequila (it does not need to be premium but must be 100% blue agave tequila)

20ml agave mix (‘Agave mix’ is used for ease of pouring. We mix 70/30 the agave with water - so you want between 10-15ml of pure syrup depending on how sweet you like it)

20ml lime/lemon mix

1g (1/2 t-spoon) ground avocado leaves

1/2 avocado (approx. 120g)

Scoop of ice

Method

Blend in a blender until smooth. Pour into a glass and add a slice of avocado for garnish.
