Just because it's Monday doesn't mean you need to go dry. In fact, the start of the work week is even more reason to take a tipple of mezcal. To celebrate National Guacamole Day, West Hollywood's Tortilla Republic shared a recipe inspired by their avocado mezcal martini so that you can get your guac in liquid form. Enjoy it solo, or with a side of the dip and some chips. Because if you're like us, you can never get enough avos.
Here's how it's done:
Avocado Mezcal Martini
Ingredients:
2 oz mezcal
1 oz pureed avocado
1 oz lime juice
1/2 oz coconut cream
1/2 oz cointreau noir
Pinch of chipotle powder
Method:
Shake all of the ingredients over ice. Strain into martini glass that's rimmed with lime chipotle powder and garnish with a lime wheel.
