Ingredients
½ cup of your preferred non-alcoholic base (e.g., non-alcoholic distilled spirit or fruit juice-based alternative)
¼ cup triple sec or orange liqueur (or a non-alcoholic substitute)
⅓ cup freshly squeezed lime juice
½ medium ripe avocado
¼ cup fresh cilantro leaves
1–2 tbsp agave syrup (adjust to taste)
½ cup ice
Coarse salt or Tajín, for rimming (optional)
Lime wedges & cilantro sprigs, for garnish
Instructions
- Run a lime wedge around the rim of each glass. Dip into coarse salt or Tajín for an extra burst of flavor. Set the glasses aside.
- In a blender, combine the non-alcoholic base, triple sec (or non-alcoholic substitute), lime juice, avocado, cilantro leaves, agave syrup, and ice. Blend until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust sweetness with more agave syrup if desired.
- Pour the blended margarita into the prepared glasses. For extra chill, you can add more ice to the glasses before pouring. Garnish with a lime wedge and a cilantro sprig.
Notes
- Omit cilantro or substitute with fresh basil for a different herbal flavor.
- For a sweeter margarita, add more agave syrup or try honey/simple syrup.
- Add extra ice for a frozen margarita texture.
