🥑 A Little Guac History

Guacamole dates all the way back to the Aztecs in Mexico, who mashed avocados with spices and called it ahuacamolli (literally, “avocado sauce”). Centuries later, this green goodness has become a staple around the globe—served with tacos, chips, burgers, toast, and even cocktails (hello, avocado margaritas!).

• Pair with Drinks: Guac pairs beautifully with margaritas, beer, or even a crisp white wine. Yes, it’s a party in every bite.
• DIY Guac Bar: Set out avocados, toppings, and spices so guests can build their own custom bowls. Think pico de gallo, jalapeños, feta cheese, or pomegranate seeds.
• Snap & Share: Guac is Instagram-worthy. Pile it high, add some colorful garnishes, and don’t forget to tag your foodie shots.
