Summery Beverage: The Emerald Cocktail

July 29th, 2009 by Frances

In the course of my internet research on all things Panamanian, I stumbled across Chef Melissa de Leon, The Panama Gourmet. Born in Panama, she now travels all over the world and cooks all kinds of cuisine, but this website seems to put the focus on Panamanian ingredients and recipes.

Here’s her recipe for an avocado shake! Have you ever?
I haven’t, but I’ll be picking up some avocados and dusting off my blender soon!

The Emerald Cocktail
Ingredients:

  • 1 avocado (aguacate), ripe
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 4 oz. whole milk
  • 4 tablespoons vanilla ice cream
  • a pinch of cinnamon (optional)

Directions:

Remove skin and seeds from avocados, chop roughly. Blend the avocados, honey, milk and ice cream in a blender for 15 seconds or until becomes smooth. Serve in tall glasses with ice and dust cinnamon on top.
