Hello Spring, Meet Belleza Verde

You also have a couple of options for this part. When I first made this cocktail I was adding a small spoonful of avocado to my shaker and shaking it with the other ingredients. It works, but I found I had to shake quite vigorously. Depending on the avocado, sometimes I was still left with little chunks.

If you are able to prep ahead of time, I recommend making a purée with avocado, lime juice, and just a bit of water. You’ll end up with a smoother base, and it’s much easier on the arms.

Shake all ingredients (minus the cucumber soda) with ice. Pour into your favorite glass and top it off with the soda. The candied jalapeños from the syrup make for an easy garnish.
