Style & Life’s Original
Guacamole and Margarita
Recipes
Since Cinco de Mayo is Friday, I thought it was the perfect time to share my original guacamole and margarita recipes. I tried many different versions of both of these recipes and landed on the below, which receive rave reviews from friends and family. The ingredients and techniques are simple; the taste fresh and delicious. One essential tip for the guacamole is to ensure you use ripe avocados; otherwise, they will be difficult to mash and will not blend well with the other ingredients. In order to have uniform vegetables, I like to use the Vidalia Chop Wizard. It’s inexpensive and effective. The guacamole is not only delicious with tortilla chips, it can be added to salads, tacos or other dishes.

LIGHTENED UP MARGARITA
Ingredients:
1 shot of tequlia blanco, I use Patron Silver
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
Agave Nectar
Sea Salt
Lime Wedges for garnish
Instructions:
Cut lime in half and rub on rim of glass. Put sea salt on a plate and dip rim of glass in the salt. Fill the glass with ice. Add ice, tequila, lime juice and agave to a cocktail shaker. Shake, pour and enjoy! If it is too tart, I sometimes add a splash of club soda or a little bit more tequila.
Happy Cinco de Mayo!
Bisous,
