Happy Hour: Margo's Mezcal Avocado Margarita

Avocado lends a creamy texture to this mezcal margarita.

2 oz. mezcal
1 oz. fresh lime juice
¾ oz. agave syrup
¼ ripe avocado
Chili salt for rim
Tools: shaker, strainer
Glass: rocks
Garnish: lime wheel

Rim a glass with chili salt and add ice and set aside. In a shaker, add the avocado and ice. Shake hard to break down the avocado. Add the mezcal, lime, agave and shake until cold. Strain into a prepared rocks glass. Garnish.

Margo’s Chile Salt: Add 2 parts of kosher salt to 1 part Aleppo pepper and a dash of cayenne.
