Notes

If you like a thicker, creamier margarita, add 3 tablespoons of avocado instead of two.

This recipe makes one margarita, but it can easily be doubled or tripled if you’re pouring margaritas for a crowd.

How to make this a pitcher drink: For a 6-drink pitcher, combine 1 cup and two tablespoons avocado (18 tablespoons total), 9 oz. silver tequila, 9 oz. lime juice, 6 oz. simple syrup and 4.5 oz. Cointreau in the base of a blender. Blend until combined, then pour over ice with garnishes.

How can I use margarita mix in this recipe? If you’ve got margarita mix (homemade margarita mix or the store-bought kind), omit the lime juice and simple syrup with 2 ½ oz. of the margarita mix.

My favorite margarita store-bought shortcuts:

Cold press freshly squeezed lime juice: It sounds silly, but if you can find this refrigerated lime juice that’s good to go, it’s worth the cost, especially if you’re entertaining.
Simple syrup: If you’re unsure if you’ll have time to make and then cool simple syrup, they sell this bottled stuff in stores, too!
