You heard it here first… Avocados aren’t just for guacamole anymore. The Tropicalia is inspired by the freshest ingredients available, while keeping up with Del Mar SoCal Kitchen’s breezy vibes and features a new twist from everyone’s favorite fruit. Yes, technically, the avocado is considered a fruit, as it meets all of the botanical criteria to be considered a berry.
“It’s bright fun and healthy, there is nothing like it,” Del Mar bartender, Sara Bace says. “It’s not necessarily a heavy drink either, but it gives you that mouth coating feel which is really nice.”
