Liquid Lunch Recipe: Make “Macondo’s” Aguacate & Mescal Drink

Macondo restaurant, a new addition to New York’s Lower East Side, features revamped versions of Latin American street food - like frituras de bacalao served with guindilla allioli (We have no idea what that is! But we want it in our face right now!) and a cocktail made with avocado and mescal. Sounds… interesting. Added bonus? You can totally drink this as a soup and get hammered while no one notices. Recipe below:

Aguacate + Mescal

Kosher salt

Lime slice

1/4 avocado

½ ounce Cointreau

¾ ounce Agwa coca leaf liqueur (or Midori melon liqueur)

1 ½ ounces mescal

1 ½ ounces freshly squeezed lime juice

1 ounce agave nectar

1 teaspoon honey.

Spread some kosher salt on a small plate. Rub the rim of a glass with lime and dip in the salt. Combine all other ingredients with a large scoop of ice in a blender; mix until smooth. Pour into the prepared glass and serve.

Yield: 1 serving

We’d serve this at a party alongside Bloody Marys and those aforementioned frituras de bacalao. And a bucket.
