CALIFORNIA SUNSET

This is the perfect summer evening cocktail; nice and cool, but not too sweet. For those of you who cannot stand dry vermouth, trust me. Neither did I until my husband made a mistake. Please be sitting down when you drink this, eh? Preferably facing west!

Tips:

  • Use ripe avocados: Make sure your avocados are ripe and creamy for the smoothest, creamiest dip.
  • Adjust the spiciness: If you like your dip spicy, add more jalapeño or cayenne pepper. If you prefer it mild, omit the peppers or use less.
  • Use fresh lime juice: Fresh lime juice adds a bright, citrusy flavor to the dip. If you don't have fresh lime juice, you can use bottled lime juice, but the flavor won't be as good.
  • Serve with your favorite dippers: Serve the California Sunset Dip with tortilla chips, vegetable crudités, or crackers. You can also use it as a spread on sandwiches or wraps.

Conclusion:

California Sunset Dip is a delicious, easy-to-make dip that's perfect for any occasion. It's creamy, spicy, and refreshing, and it's sure to be a hit with your friends and family. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy appetizer, give California Sunset Dip a try.
