Chill until very cold.", "With a sharp knife, peel the outer rind from the lemons (avoiding the white pith), and then cut the rind into thin strips. Cut avocado into medium dice right before assembling.", "When ready to eat, spoon 4-6 oysters with some of the juices into clear over-size martini glasses or compote cups. Stir salsa cocktail mixture, then gently pour over the oysters. Add some diced avocado. Drizzle in a little tequila (optional).
