Here’s what’s actually out there (with links) regarding meads or wines involving avocado:

===== 1. ''“Guacamole Mead”'' — but it doesn’t use real avocado fruit =====
This is a real recipe for a mead brewed with avocado blossom honey (which comes from avocado flowers, not the fruit). The creator calls it Guacamole Mead for fun — but no actual avocados are in the fermenter.

===== There isn’t a widely published, tested recipe that ferments actual avocado fruit — just discussions and ideas: =====
# Homebrew Talk thread on “Avocado Mead” — conversation among brewers about how avocado might be used, dealing with issues like avocado oil and flavor. No official recipe is provided.

===== There are videos showing avocado honey mead brewing (again, no actual fruit): =====
* YouTube: Guacamole Mead? (NOT what you think) — shows brewing with avocado honey, not fruit honey. YouTube<ref>{{cite web|title=YouTube|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9deg7h6xiOE|publisher=youtube.com|access-date=2026-01-14}}</ref>

===== Avocados are high in oils, which: =====
* Can interfere with yeast fermentation
* Cause problems with clarity and off-flavors

Because of this, most brewers avoid using the actual avocado flesh in mead or wine. Discussions often suggest extracts, lots of citrus, or using avocado flower honey instead. Homebrew Talk<ref>{{cite web|title=Homebrew Talk|url=https://homebrewtalk.com/threads/avocado-mead-recipe.296898/|publisher=Homebrew Talk|access-date=2026-01-14}}</ref>

If you want, I can help you create an actual avocado mead or wine recipe (with estimated amounts and fermentation steps) that uses real avocado flesh — just let me know your batch size and flavor goals!
