Your Cinco de Mayo Roundup

May 3, 2014 by elana Leave a Comment

Time to whip out those tiny velvet sombreros!

Am I really going to introduce a brand new and innovative Margarita recipe today? Nope. Right now you can search any number of food sites and see 60 different ways you can customize your Cinco de Mayo drink. Sometimes it’s hard to feel innovative. However, what I can do for you is make it easy to find all the drinks on THIS site that you might like to have this weekend, since you’re already here.

Let’s just start with last week’s Hibiscus-Tequila Cooler. It’s in a pitcher and no one can tell how many you’ve had until that pitcher is empty.
And then, really, who’s going to say anything?

 Mangoes and mezcal and chile peppers. Come on. You need this today.

If you want to be lazy, just throw a bunch of stuff into a blender. This will work for you.

If you have a lot of time on your hands, get creative with this hibiscus, vanilla-salt, inside-out take on a Margarita.

And if you just have to have a regular Margarita, here’s my favorite take on one with smoked salt and mezcal.
