9 Recipes to Fill Your Life with Avocado

Guacamania is a special time of year, and much like any holiday, it's worth the anticipation. While you (impatiently) wait for Velas Resorts to start celebrating the iconic Mexican fruit in September, we have recipes straight from Puerta Vallarta that are primed for your kitchen.

GUACAMOLE GRAND VELAS

Poolside guac might not be a possibility until Guacamania — the Velas Resorts yearly festival in September dedicated to the avocado in all its forms — but we've got the next best thing: the same guacamole recipe served in the sunshine at Grand Velas. Fair warning: You're not going to want to share.

Avocado Frappe

Think you know pool bars? Think again. Casa Velas upgrades the outdoor drinking game with this creamy, blended cocktail artfully topped off with blue CuraƧao. Bad news: You can only get these during Guacamania. Good news: We got you the recipe.

Avocado Tacos in Blue Corn

Fresh blue corn tortillas cradle ripe, creamy avocado in this easy-to-make taco.

Avocado, meet mojito. The creamy fruit adds surprising texture and depth to this much-loved drink.
