Mexican flavour

An ode to two favourites in Mexico, avocado and tequila, this Mexican tapas bar has whipped up an avocado margarita. And yes, it's healthy. The refreshing concoction is high on protein due to the fresh avocado purée and lime juice that goes into it. The garnish - part salt and part peri peri - on the rim gives it a masaledaar edge.
