  • I love this cocktail! I make it starting with Cinco de Mayo all the way to Labor Day. It's smooth and creamy and deliciously strong. I do find that my friends either LOVE it or just consider it meh. I'm decidedly in the former camp. If you like tequila and avocados, then this drink is for you. Cheers!

  • If you want a drink to taste this strongly of lime, then why add orange liqueur into it in the first place? The tastes and ingredients in this are not very well-balanced. I'll be trying something else next time.
