Step-by-Step Instructions
Follow these simple steps to make Jus Alpukat at home.
Step 1: Prepare the Avocados
Start by washing the avocados.
Cut each avocado in half lengthwise and remove the seed.
Use a spoon to scoop the avocado flesh into a blender.
Make sure to remove all the green flesh and discard the peel.
This step takes about 2–3 minutes.
Step 2: Add the Liquid Ingredients
Add the cold milk into the blender with the avocado.
Next, add sweetened condensed milk and sugar.
If you want extra flavor, add vanilla extract.
These ingredients help balance the natural richness of the avocado.
Step 3: Add Ice
Add ice cubes to the blender.
Ice gives the drink a cold, refreshing texture and slightly thick consistency.
If you want an extra thick drink, you can add a few more ice cubes.
Step 4: Blend the Mixture
Close the blender lid securely.
Blend the ingredients on high speed for 30–45 seconds.
Continue blending until the mixture becomes smooth, creamy, and free of lumps.
If the drink is too thick, add a small amount of milk and blend again.
Step 5: Prepare the Glass
Before pouring the juice, drizzle chocolate syrup inside the serving glasses.
Tilt the glass slightly while pouring the syrup so it creates decorative lines along the sides.
This step gives the drink its classic Jus Alpukat presentation.
Step 6: Pour the Juice
Pour the blended avocado juice into the prepared glasses.
Fill each glass almost to the top.
The chocolate syrup will create a beautiful layered effect inside the drink.
Step 7: Add Final Toppings
Drizzle a little extra chocolate syrup or condensed milk on top.
You may also add a few small ice cubes if desired.
Serve immediately while the drink is cold and fresh.
