Recently, I had the opportunity to collaborate with the amazing Justin Garcidiaz on a series of cocktails inspired by Mexican ingredients and flavors. Over the next weeks, I’ll be sharing the recipes for the drinks. First up, the Avocado Licuado. A refreshing drink that is smooth, smoky, and fruity all at the same time.

Avocado Licuado
1 oz avocado purée
1.5 oz Verde Momento mezcal
.25 oz cinnamon syrup
.75 oz grapefruit juice
.5 oz lime juice
.5 oz Ancho Reyes Verde

Combine ingredients in a shaker. Shake with ice. Serve in Collins on the rocks, garnish with avocado leaf salt.
