JUICE ALPOKAT (INDONESIAN AVOCADO DRINK) * I lived in Indonesia for 3 months many years ago, this was the most popular use for the large avocados the cook would bring home each day from the market. Adults and kids would go nuts for this drink. I thought they were playing a practical joke at first, since I came from L.A.: the land of Guacamole! -julia
