"Guacamole" and Margarita

I like my guacamole with real pop. I add a good amount of lime and cilantro to really make it jump. I rarely add onion or jalapeno,.... but will, if I am feeling it.

Throw some of this in front of your friends with warm tortillas or some good chips and a nice cold margarita.........uh huh... that's right. Party time

Guac

• Avocado - make sure when you give it a squeeze it feels soft, not mushy, but definitely gives. Kind of like when you squeeze a stress ball.
• Juice from half a lime - none of that dried up, month old lime. Get a nice fresh one.

• Cilantro - I love this stuff. Grab about 5 stems of it, tear off the leaves, roll em up and give it a good chop - you should have a couple tbsp worth

Scoop the flesh out of the avocado into a bowl, squeeze the lime on, toss in cilantro, good pinch of salt and mix and mash it up with a fork. Done

Margarita

• Tequila 1.5 oz
• Triple sec, 1 oz (orange liqueur)
• Lime juice, 1 oz
• Pinch of sugar or not (or if you are have the time make a simple syrup - boil equal parts sugar and water until the sugar dissolves and let cool, use a tbsp of this in place of sugar)

Pour it in a cocktail shaker with ice, shake shake shake. pour it into a glass. Awesome!
