| 1 | fully ripened avocado from Mexico, halved, pitted, peeled and chopped* | 1 |
| 2/3 cup | sweet-and-sour margarita mix | 150 mL |
| 1/2 cup | tequila | 125 mL |
| 1/2 cup | orange-flavored liqueur (such as Triple Sec or Cointreau) |
125 mL |

*Use a sharp knife and cut into the avocado straight down and around the hard pit inside. Twist into two halves—one half will contain the pit. Carefully and quickly hit the pit with the knife then with a twisting motion, loosen the pit and pull it out. To remove the avocado from the skin, ease a spoon between the flesh and the skin and scoop it out. Then, chop the avocado into small pieces.
